The service has involved Fault and Asset Management, Compatible Materials, Equipment and Parts, Emergency and Fault Service, Periodic Inspection, Optical Maintenance, Fault Reporting by the Public, General Maintenance and New and Replacement Installations. Suffolk County Council has determined that no other organisation can provide this service and therefore that there is no competitive market because of the need for compatibility with the existing systems including our urban traffic management and control system along with ninety nine percent of our existing ITS assets being Swarco UK equipment. As such, Suffolk has decided to commence a negotiation directly with Swarco to enter into a new agreement, on largely the same terms as the previously procured contract, and intends to finalise such negotiations later this year. Whilst Suffolk CC is confident that its analysis of these circumstances is correct, it remains committed to meeting its public procurement obligations and, in particular, its commitments to transparency and equal treatment. It is therefore filing this notice to ensure that no other service provider believes it could in fact meet the requirements as described above. If you do believe you can, then please contact us via martin.jennings@suffolk.gov.uk for a more detailed discussion."
