Summary of the contracting process

Torfaen County Borough Council commissioned works to upgrade the pedestrian crossing at Golf Road, New Inn. The work covers supplying and installing a new extra-low-voltage, 48-volt traffic-signal controller and associated street equipment. It also includes removing and relocating the existing bus stop, completing road-marking works, and carrying out civil works for ducting, NAL retention sockets and dropped kerbs. The crossing is in New Inn, within Torfaen, Wales. The requirement combines traffic-signal installation with highway and streetscape works, including changes to bus-stop provision. The council is the buyer and the works relate to a single crossing site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to DT Contracting (South West) Limited. The council used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £55,835.25 excluding VAT, or £67,002.29 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The work was arranged so civil works could be carried out during the October school half-term to minimise disruption; the traffic-signal installation was to follow when equipment became available. The published award information identifies traffic-light installation as the main classification of the awarded work.

This award shows that Torfaen County Borough Council buys small, site-specific crossing upgrades through limited competition, combining traffic-signal equipment and installation with associated highway civil works. Suppliers likely to be credible for a comparable requirement would need to deliver or coordinate a 48-volt traffic-signal controller and street equipment, alongside ducting, retention sockets, dropped kerbs, bus-stop relocation and road markings. The scope calls for practical coordination between civil and signal works, including planning disruptive activity around school schedules and sequencing signal installation around equipment availability. DT Contracting (South West) Limited, an SME based in Cwmbran, secured the work, demonstrating that a smaller regional contractor can undertake this scale of combined crossing project. Relevant experience in traffic signals and highway works would therefore be central to competing for this buyer’s similar requirement.
