Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has successfully awarded a contract for the "Signals Infrastructure and Equipment NPIF" project, focusing on traffic signal upgrades at junctions in Harrogate. The procurement, initiated as an open process, was managed under a below-threshold open competition and is in the award stage as of 19 November 2025. The contract, valued at £175,316.09 (gross amount £210,379.31), will run from 12 January to 1 May 2026. The procurement's main category is "works," involving the installation of traffic lights and related control equipment. The project emphasises minimal disruptions, targeting a completion window of 6–8 weeks, with efforts to limit activities during school term times, given the site's proximity to Harrogate Grammar School.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale suppliers like Swarco UK & Ireland Ltd, which successfully secured the deal. The project requires specialised capabilities in traffic signal installation and control systems, offering lucrative prospects for businesses proficient in electrical and signalling equipment installation. SMEs were notably absent from the final bidding stage, highlighting a potential gap for smaller firms to leverage in future contracts. Suppliers focused on innovative traffic solutions, sustainability, and efficient delivery will likely find this sector rewarding.

Notice Title

Signals Infrastructure and Equipment NPIF

Notice Description

North Yorkshire Council is seeking a contractor to deliver traffic signal upgrades at the junctions of Otley Rd/Cold Bath Rd/Arthurs Ave and Otley Rd/Pannal Ash Rd in Harrogate. The works include replacing existing signal equipment with LED/ELV systems, converting pedestrian facilities from far side to near side, and implementing MOVA control with linked operation between junctions. Additional scope includes kerb line alterations, tactile paving, footway resurfacing, installation of CCTV cameras, and integration with the Siemens PC SCOOT UTC system. The contract runs from 12 January to 1 May 2026, with a delivery window of 6-8 weeks. Disruptive works should be scheduled outside school term times due to proximity to Harrogate Grammar School. Evening and weekend working may be considered to accelerate delivery. The project will be governed by the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract and evaluated on a 70:30 price-to-quality basis. Key deliverables include FAT/SAT testing, MOVA validation, and full compliance with DfT and British Standards. Contractors must provide RAMS, insurance certificates, and a construction phase plan four weeks prior to start. Social value, sustainability, and minimal disruption to the network are core priorities. All decommissioned equipment must be responsibly recycled. The successful contractor will provide a one-year warranty and support handover to NYC's maintenance team.
