What the notice says

National Highways currently operates four key technology contracts that underpin the safety, monitoring, and operational capability of our traffic officer fleet and supporting vehicles. These contracts are due to expire, at various dates, by 2028. As part of our strategic approach to improving efficiency, reducing duplication, and ensuring consistent technology standards, we are exploring the opportunity to consolidate these separate agreements into a single, integrated contract. Information on the project can be found here: https://highways-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/kiran_bahia_nationalhighways_co_uk/IQDN3I3NqgeETYeCeaAHbsezAZBpUbepDtpGe43OVRkguqM?e=k4f3RZ - please read this in its entirity before populating the MS form. Clarification questions will not be responded to.
