CPU 5937 Highways Temporary Traffic Management Framework
Framework Description
CPU 5937 is Nottingham City Council's framework for temporary traffic management on the city's highways. It runs from 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2030 with no extension, has an estimated value of up to £2 million and is let as a single lot. The tender was published on 2 July 2025, and the framework is now in its term.
Context & Use Case
The council uses it to put temporary traffic management in place for highway maintenance, improvement and reactive works carried out under its highways programme within the city boundary. Contractors set up and manage the traffic arrangements that let road crews work safely while keeping traffic and pedestrians moving around the site.
Scope of Services
Temporary traffic management for highway maintenance works Temporary traffic management for highway improvement works Traffic management for reactive highway works Coverage within the Nottingham City boundary
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Suits traffic management contractors with qualified operatives and experience on urban roads. Applications for this framework are closed, and it runs to 10 May 2030 without extension, so contractors not appointed cannot join until the council re-tenders it, likely in the months before that date.
Buyer Benefits
Highway works cannot start until traffic is managed safely, so the council needs contractors it can call on quickly, including for reactive jobs. A pre-procured framework with agreed rates saves it tendering each scheme and keeps safety standards consistent across the city's roads.
Next Steps
Appointed contractors should focus on response times, safety records and keeping disruption low. Others should prepare for the re-tender ahead of 10 May 2030, watch Find a Tender for Nottingham City Council notices, and gather case studies of urban traffic management with safety and disruption data.
How Athena Can Help
Traffic management bids are scored heavily on safety and method. Athena's highways tender writing helps you set out your methods, safety record and pricing for the council's re-tender, and a Bid Health Check finds weak answers before you submit.
In the meantime, our local authority tender support helps you win traffic management work from other councils, and our finding and joining frameworks service identifies highways frameworks and dynamic markets that are open now.
