Roadside Technologies awarded on CCS Transport Technology Framework

We are delighted to announce that we’ve been appointed as a supplier on Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Transport Technology Framework across lots 2, 3, 5, 8b, 8d, and 8e.

This award reflects our continued commitment to delivering innovative, off-grid, connected transport solutions that improve safety, sustainability, and efficiency across the UK’s transport and highway networks.

What is the Transport Technology Framework?

The Transport Technology Framework is a national framework that enables UK public sector bodies, including local authorities and government departments, to procure transport technology solutions through a compliant and efficient route.

Replacing Transport Technology & Associated Services, it includes an expanded scope around emerging mobility, sustainable transport and enablement for future developments - which supports the government’s wider goals around smart mobility, connected infrastructure, and net-zero transport systems.

For our customers, this means our products and services are now available via a robust, compliant public-sector procurement route - and we’re ready to support opportunities with the full backing of our technical, manufacturing and connectivity capabilities.

Our Awarded Lots

Lot 2: Data Services

“Use of data such as network occupancy and scheduling, passenger and freight train movement, public transit schedules, passenger counting, infrastructure utilisation and rail simulation.”

We provide advanced data-driven solutions - from highway monitoring to sensors and connectivity infrastructure, that enable efficient management of traffic flow, vehicle movements, works and more. These include:

  • AutoTrace - ANPR captures are checked against the DVLA in regards to a vehicle’s weight, allowing site managers to monitor traffic, or prevent overweight vehicles from accessing bridges.
  • Vehicle Count and Classify - using CCTV cameras with advanced video analytics and machine learning to count and classify all vehicle types within a defined zone.

Lot 3:  Parking Management

“Capabilities from service providers for outsourcing both on-street or off-street parking requirements. This includes products, software and services.”

Our infrastructure expertise - VMS, sensors, CCTV, ANPR and more - supports parking enforcement, signage, way-finding and barrier systems. These solar powered offerings mean we can deploy in locations where mains supply is costly or disruptive, and leave units to run year-round without the need for maintenance or refuelling.

Lot 5: Enforcement, Compliance and Security

“Technology systems and services to prevent trespassing, property damage, theft, anti-social behaviour and to enhance security. Technologies for incident safety and emergency response.”

From speed reduction and measurement systems to infrastructure safeguarding and hazard warning/detection, our technology supports network safety, real-time incident response, and advanced monitoring.

With proven capabilities and built-in connectivity, we help customers stay ahead of compliance, security and operational risk with products and solutions such as:

  • Low speed and high speed traffic management technology – including vehicle activated signs (VAS) and speed indication devices (SIDs), variable message signs (VMS), ANPR solutions, and more.
  • CCTV – portable, solar-powered, connected units that live stream via a secure cloud platform and benefit from optional monitoring by an NIS Gold accredited control room.
  • Zonal lighting – renewably-powered units that provide bright light in dedicated zones all year round.

Lot 8b: Active and Passive Infrastructure - Cabinets, Furniture, Storage and Ancillaries

“Infrastructure and services used to connect and support the transport network.”

Our solutions are not just the active equipment; we supply the full fit-out: cabinets, fixings, enclosures and ancillary infrastructure for roadside deployments. Customers benefit from an integrated solution - from solar panels, pole/cabinet, comms, and more - as one package.

Lot 8d: Active and Passive Infrastructure - Traffic Management Technologies

“Permanent and temporary transport management infrastructure and services for management of the network.”

Temporary or permanent traffic management is core to what we do: our off-grid VMS, speed reduction equipment, and connectivity solutions give customers across industries flexibility - whether for road-works, event management or permanent infrastructure.

Lot 8e: Active and Passive Infrastructure - Detectors, Informing and Communication Technology

“Operational transport technologies and services.”

Real-time data, remote connectivity, telemetries and smart alerts - we deliver innovative solutions designed to address industry pain points. These include:

  • Zone Alert - using machine learning and CCTV to identify waiting vehicles in sensitive or high-traffic areas.
  • Dual Journey Time - giving road users multiple options through road works or diversions with real-time updates.
  • Over Height Alert - using sensors to trigger a VMS, alerting tall vehicles of an upcoming obstacle.
  • VECTA - using 3D point-cloud data to detect hazardous objects in real-time.

Why Our Approach Stands Out

Off-grid power & sustainability: Our solar and renewably-powered products support greener, low-maintenance networks, and allow for greater flexibility in location and placement.

Connectivity & innovation: We integrate sensors, analytics, machine learning, and AI for advanced insights and efficient decision-making. Alongside this, we continually invest in R&D to ensure our solutions effectively address the changing needs of our customers.

Built in the UK: From design to fabrication and powder coating, the majority of our products are crafted in-house at our Chesterfield workshop, ensuring high standards of quality control and customisation to meet customer requirements.

Looking Ahead

We’re proud to be recognised by Crown Commercial Services as a trusted supplier, and we look forward to working closely with public sector partners to deliver technology that makes a measurable difference to road safety, connectivity, and sustainability.

This framework allows us to continue doing what we do best: designing, manufacturing, and deploying intelligent roadside solutions that increase safety, streamline operations, and support sustainability. As the industry evolves toward smarter and greener transport networks, we’re committed to driving that innovation alongside our customers - ensuring every project we deliver is efficient, renewable, and built to last.

Let’s Work Together
