From the official notice
The Highway Network Management Team at Durham County Council (DCC) is responsible for overseeing and managing the county's road network, supporting both operational delivery and strategic network planning. The service delivers a range of activities including coordination of 40,000+ street works activities per year, network monitoring, permit management, and traffic management interventions. The Council is seeking to procure a single, modern Digital Road Management Platform to improve efficiency, data visibility, and service delivery. The proposed system will need to support both office-based and field-based operations. The system will be primarily used by highway network management officers, traffic engineers, inspectors, and support staff across the service. The digital road management platform will provide an electronic administration platform for the effective management for the highway network management team and the platform must link into the Department for Transports Street Manager system. For the avoidance of doubt, the Digital Road Management Platform will support the Council's management, coordination and oversight of activities on the highway network. The platform is not required to assess, determine, approve or refuse permit applications, nor is it required to undertake or replace the Council's inspection functions. These activities will remain the responsibility of the Council and its authorised officers.
