Decision:
Award of contract for Automated Highway Asset
Survey Software and associated hardware. Contract period is 24
months from 1 April 2020 with a two-month optional extension period
if required. .
Reasons for the decision:
Following on from the pilot trial of the Road
AI system – Covid restrictions meant that the normal CVI
surveys could not be carried out safely (2 operatives per vehicle).
As a result Road AI was used to carry out CVI surreys and data
gathering. Collation of this data is essential for the development
of the forward highways capital programme.
An agreement was established with the supplier on a short term
basis while Covid restrictions to ensure safe working practice
remain in place, to allow for a full procurement exercise to be
undertaken to service a longer term automated carriageway condition
survey from the start of 2022/23,
Alternative options considered:
Not undertaking CVI surveys 2020/21 and
2021/22
