The procurement process titled "ORT0115 - Signs and Signals (AMI and VMS) Modernisation & Refresh - Extension" has been completed by the buying organisation, National Highways, located in Birmingham, England. This contract falls under the industry category of "Signage" and involves the delivery and installation of Signs and Signals equipment. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £2,415,000, commenced on 1st April 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2027. Although the tender stage has ended, key locations for this project include the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and other regions across the world.
