## Summary

Blackpool Borough Council is seeking to enhance the town's transportation infrastructure through the procurement of an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) designated as the "Blackpool Intelligent Transport System." This project falls under the Road Traffic-Control Equipment category, with a total value of £1,702,400. The tender, part of the CCS Framework RM1089, was published on 14 March 2017, with the tender period concluding on 23 January 2017. The contract period for successful bidders starts on 1 April 2017 and runs until 31 October 2017. This procurement process is currently regarded as complete, and the awarded contract has been granted to Swarco Traffic Ltd.

Opportunities for business growth arise from the ongoing demand for advanced traffic management technology, particularly in the installation and operation of variable message signs and related equipment. Companies specialising in road traffic-control solutions, technology installation, and traffic monitoring would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders. As local authorities increasingly focus on improving urban mobility, businesses that can offer innovative, reliable solutions in this sector are likely to benefit significantly.
