Summary of the contracting process

The Dumfries and Galloway Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Traffic Signal Equipment Maintenance and Ancillary Support Services." This falls under the services category within the traffic-signal maintenance industry. The project encompasses the maintenance and support of traffic signals within Dumfries and Galloway, excluding trunk roads. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, covered by the GPA, and attracted foreign, non-EU bids. The contract, valued at £1,719,000, was awarded to Swarco UK & Ireland Ltd, with the contract formalised on 25th April 2025. Although the tender was initiated earlier, with planning starting in November 2024, and the tender phase spanning from January to February 2025, the procurement process is now in the award stage with lots indicating no options remaining for implementation.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in traffic-signal services, particularly those able to offer high-quality and competitively priced solutions (60% weighted on quality, 40% on price). Large-scale businesses like Swarco UK & Ireland Ltd are ideally suited for such contracts, especially those with experience in maintaining, repairing, and upgrading integrated traffic management systems. The procurement also emphasises the potential for community benefits, opening pathways for businesses to contribute positively to local infrastructural enhancements. Companies looking to expand within the Scottish regions, specifically the metropolitan zone of Dumfries and Galloway, will find this contract fitting for strategic and sustainable business growth.
