Description

ESDAL will be a modular, open and hosted in the cloud service.

The workflow will be developed on a workflow platform so that workflow configuration is separated from software, thus reducing the IPR held by the supplier.

A new more modern mapping solution will be continuously updated as road layouts change in real time.

Standardised interfaces will enable third party services to be developed as an alternative to enhancing the core ESDAL system. For example, a mobile phone app for making applications or a mobile phone app that will enable police to be informed of abnormal load movements while on patrol.

Other Highways England systems may be able to make use of ESDAL data by the development of open interfaces to ESDAL.

It will meet the requirements of the UK Government Digital Service standard. (https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/service-standard).

The contract is envisaged to be for a 5-year period with the potential to extend on a 1 + 1 year basis. The GBP 4.9 million funding covers the first 5 years.

Development is required specifically to meet the requirements of the UK Government Digital Service standard. (https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/service-standard). Current workflows have potential for efficiency improvements while retaining the safety benefits of strict adherence to UK AIL regulations. (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/1998/schedule/1/part/1/crossheading/meaning-of-abnormal-indivisible-load/made).

The following non-specified provisions may additionally be taken up by the procuring authority during the lifetime of the contract. These are potential enhancements to ESDAL to keep it up to date with changes in: haulage industry standards, relevant legislation, technical advances e.g. automated and connected vehicles and new functionality to improve system integration.
