Traffic Management Services
Framework Description
NEPO's Traffic Management Services framework supports SMEs in the North East to provide traffic management for public bodies. It has seven lots: traffic management in Durham, Tyne and Wear and Tees Valley, event traffic management in the same three areas, and Newcastle planned major road closures. Buyers can direct award or run a competition. It runs to 16 July 2027 with no extension listed.
Context & Use Case
Councils and other public bodies use it for traffic management during roadworks, utility works and maintenance, and for public events that need roads managed or closed. Area lots keep work with local firms that know the road network, and a dedicated lot covers planned major road closures in Newcastle. Buyers can direct award or compete each job.
Scope of Services
Lots 1 to 3: Traffic management in Durham, Tyne and Wear and Tees Valley Lots 4 to 6: Event traffic management in Durham, Tyne and Wear and Tees Valley Lot 7: Newcastle planned major road closures
Lots
Lot 1: Traffic Management - Durham; Lot 2: Traffic Management - Tyne and Wear; Lot 3: Traffic Management - Tees Valley; Lot 4: Event Traffic Management - Durham; Lot 5: Event Traffic Management - Tyne and Wear; Lot 6: Event Traffic Management - Tees Valley; Lot 7: Newcastle Planned Major Road Closures
Who Can Apply
Suits North East SMEs offering traffic management for roadworks and events. Applications for this framework are closed, so firms not appointed cannot join it; with the term ending on 16 July 2027, the replacement procurement is the next opportunity.
Buyer Benefits
Buyers value local SME contractors who know the area, quick appointment through direct award or competition, and specialist lots for events and major closures. The framework also keeps public money in the regional economy. Separate event lots also give organisers specialists in event traffic management.
Next Steps
Keep an eye on NEPO's traffic management framework page for the replacement, expected in the first half of 2027. Decide which area and event lots suit you, and gather evidence of safety, accreditations, local knowledge and event delivery for public clients. Appointed firms should keep safety records ready.
How Athena Can Help
