## Notice

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council Highway Authority has a legal duty to maintain the highway network within the borough, including street lighting and illuminated signage. Sandwell MBC provides and maintains 30,985 streetlights and approximately 5,000 other types of illuminated street furniture. Of these, 30,139 lighting units have already been upgraded through a previous lantern replacement programme. This delivered significant energy efficiencies, carbon reductions and introduced LED lighting technology controlled via a Central Management System (CMS), a platform that enables remote monitoring and adjustment of street lighting assets for optimal performance and fault detection. The proposed Street Lighting Improvement Programme Contract, will focus on upgrading the small number of remaining non-LED lighting units and converting approximately 9,000 existing LED lanterns onto a single, integrated CMS.
