Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Traffic Signals Framework". This project aims to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement to support the delivery of various traffic signal schemes in urban, semi-urban, and rural areas within the North Yorkshire Council administrative region. The framework will cover a range of works from straightforward renewals and minor upgrades to more complex junction and networked signal schemes. The procurement method involves preliminary market engagement, with a key deadline for engagement on 6th August 2026. The framework agreement is structured to reflect different levels of complexity and risk, and communication regarding future notices is expected by 1st October 2026. The expected gross value of the project is approximately £4.8 million.

This procurement opportunity creates significant potential for business growth, especially for companies specialised in road signal installation, engineering design services for traffic installations, and roadwork. The framework is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given its complexity-led lotting structure and subdivision by delivery approach, which allows companies to find suitable work segments. Businesses capable of managing multiple sites and providing varied levels of complexity in traffic signal works will be well-suited to compete. This initiative not only offers work opportunities for specialised firms but also contributes to enhancing regional traffic infrastructure, thereby fostering an environment for sustained business development.

Notice Title

Traffic Signals Framework

Notice Description

The Authority is exploring the establishment of a multi supplier framework agreement to support the delivery of traffic signal schemes across the North Yorkshire Council administrative area. The geographic scope will include urban, semi urban and rural locations, and suppliers may be required to deliver works at single or multiple sites concurrently. The framework is intended to support a range of traffic signal works varying in scale, value and complexity, from straightforward renewals and minor upgrades to more complex junction and networked signal schemes. The anticipated volume of works and final duration of any future framework have not yet been determined and will be informed by the outcome of this market engagement exercise. To reflect differing levels of complexity and risk, the Authority is considering structuring the framework using a complexity led lotting model, with further subdivision by delivery approach. The proposed structure is outlined below.
