Summary of the contracting process

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council has completed the procurement process for a contract concerning the provision of Vehicle Activated Signs. The contract was awarded under Lot 6 of the ESPO 344_26 Signs framework and spans from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2030. This procurement falls under the goods category, with additional services, and is classified under several CPV codes, including variable message signs and illuminated traffic signs. The procurement method utilised was a selective approach, which is below the threshold, awarding under a framework agreement. The process has reached the 'award' stage, and the related contract was signed on 14th May 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of traffic and road signs. Companies with expertise in traffic management solutions, particularly those that can provide illuminated and variable message signs, will find this contract particularly relevant. Given the project's duration and scope, suppliers capable of providing both initial setup and ongoing maintenance might benefit the most from engaging in such government contracts. Large companies with a robust capacity for delivery and competitive pricing models would be well-suited to participate in similar future procurements initiated by public authorities like Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.
