This contract spans 10 years and was awarded on 26th November 2025, with a value of £780,000. The council, a public authority entity situated in Newbury, aims to ensure reliable and cost-effective traffic management infrastructure through this procurement, which required all equipment to meet certain European and ISO standards.
