Auto-Salting and Gritting Solution

Description

Lancashire County Council (LCC) is responsible for delivering winter service operations to keep the county's highways safe during ice, snow and other severe weather, relying on a time‑critical in‑vehicle winter service system that supports planning, in‑cab guidance, automated spreading and the capture of evidential treatment data across multiple depots. As part of its continuous improvement approach, LCC is exploring the current market for winter salting and gritting technology to understand supplier capabilities, innovations and delivery models that could enhance resilience, data quality, reporting, connectivity and out‑of‑hours support. To inform its thinking, the Council is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) solely to gather insight from the market.
