Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council has completed a public procurement process involving the purchase of steel wire armoured, 27 multi-core traffic signal cables and other associated cables. Utilising an open procedure, this procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically cables, as indicated by the CPV classification 44321000. The location for the delivery of the goods is within the UKC12 region, United Kingdom. The procurement process has been finalised, with key dates including the award date of 20th January 2026 and the contract period extending from 7th February 2026 to 7th September 2028, with potential extensions possible until 2030. The contract is valued at £250,000 excluding VAT and includes provisions for performance monitoring through milestone delivery and regular reviews.

This tender represents a stable business opportunity for suppliers in the cables and electrical sectors. The open nature of the procurement method means that capable businesses with the capacity to supply high-quality, specialised cables have the potential to engage with substantial public sector contracts. Large enterprises, such as Edmondson Electrical Limited, the current supplier, are well-suited to meet the demands of such contracts. However, the contract’s monitoring approach suggests that any business confident in delivering value, accountability, and flexibility could benefit from future opportunities in these types of government tenders.
