## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured traffic-signal maintenance services covering highways signals equipment operations and maintenance. The requirement concerns the ongoing operation, servicing and maintenance of traffic signals and associated highways signalling equipment. Delivery is in West Sussex, including the Chichester area and the wider South East of England. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council. This is a public-sector highways services contract rather than a supply-only purchase or construction project. The procurement is classified under CPV 50232200, traffic-signal maintenance services. It is relevant to firms that maintain traffic signal assets, support highway control equipment and provide operational services across a county-wide or regional road network.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure above the applicable threshold. Bids closed at 4pm on 17 April 2026. West Sussex County Council awarded the contract to Telent Technology Services Limited on 26 June 2026. The awarded value is £25 million, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2033. The published requirement was for services, with an estimated procurement value of £25 million. The award is active. The available information identifies the procurement route but does not set out separate lots or detailed quality and price weightings. The contract period is approximately seven years.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from West Sussex County Council for a specialist supplier able to operate and maintain traffic signals and highways signalling equipment across a substantial local-authority service area. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience maintaining traffic signal infrastructure, diagnosing faults, carrying out planned and reactive maintenance, and supporting reliable day-to-day operation. It would also need sufficient field-service capacity, competent technical staff, responsive fault handling and the organisational resilience to deliver a long-running county highways service. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an established specialist SME may be well placed to compete, either independently or with carefully selected delivery partners.
