Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council is procuring county-wide traffic signals and intelligent transport systems services. The requirement covers maintenance of the existing traffic signal network and intelligent transport equipment, including vehicle-activated signs, variable message signs, car park guidance signs and rising bollards. It also covers supplying and installing traffic signal and intelligent transport equipment for larger schemes alongside the Council’s main works contractors, smaller schemes as principal contractor, scheduled upgrades and new sites. Related equipment includes traffic lights, illuminated road signs, traffic guidance equipment, road equipment and security cameras, with associated electrical installation, highway works and engineering design. Delivery is across Norfolk, for a public-sector buyer seeking a single provider to maintain and develop its transport infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Yunex Limited following an open competitive flexible procedure. The award was made on 21 July 2026, with a standstill period ending on 31 July 2026 and contract signature scheduled for 3 August 2026. The awarded value is £31,043,363.62 excluding VAT, or £37,252,036.34 including VAT. The contract period is 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2033, with an option to extend by up to 84 months to 15 November 2040. One lot was used. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%. Two valid final-stage bids were received. Economic and technical selection requirements applied, as set out in the tender documents.

This award indicates sustained demand from Norfolk County Council for an integrated traffic technology contractor able to maintain existing assets and deliver new installations across a whole county. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in traffic signal maintenance, intelligent transport systems, traffic lights, variable and illuminated signs, vehicle-activated signs, car park guidance, rising bollards and related communications or monitoring equipment. It would also need to manage both principal-contractor delivery for smaller schemes and collaboration with larger highway works contractors, including minor civil and electrical works, equipment supply, installation and engineering design. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing matters most, but a strong technical and service-quality proposition remains essential. Experience coordinating complex, long-term public infrastructure services would strengthen market positioning.
