Purpose

1.    
Authorise the award of a ‘Call Off’ contract for the
Traffic Signals Supply, Installation and Maintenance 2024 to the
successful bidder set out in the Exempt Annex to this report for
£2,320,000 from 4 September 2024 to 3 September 2029; and
 

2.   
Delegate authority to the Executive Director of Place and Economy
to authorise the option to extend the Contract for a further three
years from 4 September 2029 to 3 September 2032.
 

Reasons for the decision

This recommendation has been made to ensure the Council is able
to effectively deliver and meet its statutory duties for traffic
signals supply, install and maintenance, supporting existing
investment programmes, over the next 8 years.
 

Alternative options considered

The Council could have procured an individual contract for
its own traffic signal supply, install and maintenance however this
approach was not considered to be optimal as the benefits of
economies of scale cannot be achieved without the
partnership/framework contract.
