This procurement is focused on the road equipment industry, specifically seeking options for sequential lighting systems for Traffic Officer Vehicles. The engagement end date is set for 18th February 2020, with a deadline for submission of interest by 8am on the same day. Interested suppliers must register on Highways England's e-tendering system before the submission deadline of 6pm on 18th February 2020. The buying organisation is based in Birmingham, England. This opportunity presents a significant prospect for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of road lighting and safety equipment. Companies that offer compliant sequential flashing lights and other related products would be particularly well-suited to compete in this tender. The requirement outlined by Highways England encourages innovation and competition among suppliers, benefiting both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger businesses within the sector. ## Notice Following feedback from Highways England Traffic Officer's a project has been established to look at alternative options to the current Dorman lights carried in Traffic Officer Vehicles (TOV's). A review of the existing sequential flashing lights used in Emergency Traffic Management (ETM) is supported by the findings and recommendations from the ETM Provision Review conducted by Transport Research Laboratory (TRL). The report noted that the use of sequential flashing cone lamps had a positive effect on drivers and their compliance with ETM, and that there are potential alternatives on the market to the current lights. Highways England seek to investigate the market options to fulfil the requirement of nine sequential lights per Traffic Officer Vehicle for Emergency Traffic Management deployment, as per Chapter 8 requirements. Full specification is attached to this notice.
