Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured traffic signal components for the repair and maintenance of its traffic signal equipment. The requirement is for transport equipment and related products, delivered in the United Kingdom. These components support the continued operation and upkeep of the council’s traffic signals.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to YUNEX LIMITED. The council used a direct award, citing a single-supplier situation for technical reasons and the need to maintain, repair and protect the operational integrity of its traffic signals. The award value is £487,184 gross. The award period runs from 9 October 2026 to 1 June 2030, with the award recorded on 8 October 2026. The requirement was set as one lot, which was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The award is recorded as pending.

For suppliers considering similar requirements from Durham County Council, this award demonstrates demand for components that support the repair and maintenance of traffic signal equipment. A credible competitor would need to show that its components are technically suitable for the council’s installed equipment and can support continued operational integrity, including the maintenance and repair requirement. The direct award rationale indicates that technical compatibility and the ability to meet the existing system’s needs were central to the selected supplier’s position. Suppliers with relevant traffic-signal component expertise, dependable supply capacity and experience supporting operational traffic systems would be best placed to establish credibility when a comparable requirement returns to market.
