Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Derbyshire County Council involves a direct award contract for the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of intelligent transport systems, specifically road traffic-control equipment. This project is located in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom and falls under the goods category in the industry classification. A direct procurement method was used, with the contract already being awarded as of 30th April 2026 to Swarco UK & Ireland Ltd. The tender period concluded on 29th April 2026, and the contract runs from 1st May 2026 until 30th April 2027, with a total value of £12,000,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in intelligent transport systems, particularly for those supplying road traffic-control equipment. Although the contract has already been awarded, similar procurement processes in the future could benefit small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to their suitability as indicated in the procurement documentation. Companies that specialise in comprehensive transport solutions or have expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects might find such tenders advantageous for growth and increased presence in the public sector market.
