Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council has undertaken a procurement process titled "Braunton Traffic Signals Replacements" under its Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026-30. The project focuses on upgrading the traffic signals system in Braunton to MOVA operation which aims to enhance traffic flow. This falls under the construction category with specific work conducted at the traffic signal junction in Braunton. The contract was awarded on 30th June 2026, with the work scheduled to commence on 1st July 2026 and conclude by 25th October 2026. The procurement was managed using a selective method as a below-threshold award under the framework, and it pertains to the UKK43 region in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers growth opportunities primarily for construction firms specialising in traffic signalling and roadworks. As the contract involves civil engineering tasks such as the installation of traffic signal ducts and loops under temporary traffic control, companies with relevant expertise stand to benefit. Small and medium enterprises, like E and J W Glendinning Limited which successfully secured the contract, are particularly well-suited to engage in such projects given their agility and specialised focus on niche engineering works. This project not only supports local business growth but also contributes to infrastructure improvements in the region.

Notice Title

[FWKORD0020] Braunton Traffic Signals Replacements

Notice Description

Devon County Council (DCC) intends to procure a Work Order under its Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026-30 under Lot 1 using the quotation procedure, in accordance with Section 10 of the Framework Information (Volume 2). The project relates to some traffic signal works at the existing traffic signal junction in Braunton. The primary objective of the scheme is to upgrade the existing traffic signals system to MOVA operation, thereby improving traffic flow and responsiveness to real-time demand. To facilitate to MOVA upgrade, the works will primarily involve the installation of two sections of traffic signals duct (and associated draw-pits) within existing footways on Caen Street and Chaloners Road. The footways consist of a combination of asphalt and brick paved surfaces. Upon completion of these civils works, Devon County Council's separately appointed traffic signal contractor will install new traffic signal loops that will be connected back to the traffic signals controller. The majority of works will be carried out under temporary four-way traffic signal control. However, the two new traffic loops on the A361 (Exeter Road) will require the temporary closure of South Street and Heanton Street. This element of the works is required to be undertaken overnight, under traffic management supplied by the Principal Contractor.
