ANPR CAZ/BLE/MTE Maintenance (TTAS - Marston Holdings) - Contract AWARD

About the buyer

Bath and North East Somerset Council is a local authority that buys works, goods, services and professional advice through its own procurement team. Almost all contracts are listed and managed on Supplying the South West, where suppliers register before applying. New opportunities above a low value threshold are advertised on the council website and on the Central Digital Platform. Pre-agreed contracts cover almost every requirement, with spot purchases kept for low value items. External frameworks hosted by the Crown Commercial Service, ESPO, NEPO, YPO and Matrix Prism give a further route to market. Most contracts run for between three and five years.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Bath and North East Somerset Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, architectural and engineering services and construction work.
