SCANNER survey procurement

SCANNER surveys are commissioned by local authorities.  The minimum requirements for surveying are those needed to cover the authorities’ reporting requirements for Best Value Performance Indicators in England; Statutory Performance Indicators in Scotland; and National Strategic Indicators in Wales, but highway authorities are encouraged to consider whether further surveys would be useful for the management of their road networks

There are currently two companies operating SCANNER-accredited machines: WDM Ltd, and Jacobs Babtie.  Data Collection Limited (DCL) has equipment undergoing accreditation testing.

Advice to local authorities on procuring surveys is detailed in the SCANNER specification Volume 1, available here.
