Why this procedure was chosen
This is a transparency notice to inform the market that National Highways is directly awarding a contract to Navtech Radar Limited for Stopped Vehicle Detection (SVD) for a period of 12 months from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026. This direct award is made under Section 41(1)(a) and Schedule 5, Paragraph 5 and 6 of the Procurement Act 2023. 1.The proposed supplier has exclusive (intellectual property) rights in the hardware and software already supplied to National Highways and do not share /re-sell/licence any of its designs/intellectual property with/to third parties. Without these, no other supplier could provide the support and maintenance services under the proposed contract to the pre-existing hardware. For the same reasons, no other supplier could provide upgrades to existing hardware. 2. The only means by which another supplier could provide services and supplies similar to those under the proposed contract would be to replace the existing hardware with an alternative solution. Very significant investment has been made to deploy the existing hardware and the majority of these assets still have a number of years before they reach ‘end of life’. To undertake a wholesale replacement of the hardware at this juncture would therefore be disproportionate and unreasonable. The new contract will ensure continuity of these essential service.
