Decision details

To seek authorisation for the procurement of a contract for i) refurbishment and upgrade of existing traffic signal sites in North Yorkshire and ii) installation of new traffic signal sites in North Yorkshire

The procurement of a new contract for design, supply and installation of traffic signals equipment, including upgrades to existing sites and installation of new sites from 2026-2030 is approved.

The recommendations will enable a procurement exercise to be carried out to ensure that NYC is able to upgrade its existing and install new, traffic signal sites.

Utilising an existing external framework was considered, however this would require a further competition exercise to be carried out for each new scheme / block of schemes. Procuring our own contract, provides improved efficiency compared to existing external frameworks.

Additionally establishing our own contract allows the specifications and terms of the contracts to be more aligned to the requirements of North Yorkshire. It also ensures that we can achieve best value and the relevant price / quality split for assessment meets the requirements of North Yorkshire.
