The pre-market engagement phase is currently underway, inviting potential suppliers to provide feedback on the proposed approach and scope of the contract. The future notice date for further developments is set for 20th June 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in traffic control services, particularly those experienced in the supply, installation, and maintenance of intelligent transport systems. Companies capable of delivering innovative solutions and technology-driven improvements in service delivery will be well-positioned to compete. As the Council aims to enhance service provision, firms that can demonstrate expertise and creativity in this sector will likely find promising avenues for growth through their participation in this procurement process. ## Notice Reading Borough Council ('the Council') is seeking to re-procure the contract for Maintenance of Traffic Signals and Other ITS Equipment Within the Berkshire Area ('the Contract'), on behalf of the following participant authorities; Bracknell Forest Borough Council, Reading Borough Council, Slough Borough Council, West Berkshire Borough Council, Wokingham Borough Council. The Council therefore wishes to commence a pre-market engagement exercise with potential suppliers as more fully described in Section II.2.4) below. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This notice marks the commencement of a pre-market engagement exercise to conduct consultations with potential suppliers with expertise in successfully delivering similar services and to obtain general feedback on the Council's proposed approach to the procurement exercise. A pre-market engagement document has been produced by the Council (a copy of which is available by issuing a request via the email address set out above) which explains the potential scope of the opportunity in further detail. At present, the supply, installation, commissioning, inspection, and maintenance of intelligent traffic systems are delivered through our existing Traffic Control Systems Contract, which has been in place for over 10 years. Given the length of time since the contract has had a significant review, we recognise that there is an opportunity to build upon the service delivery provided to date and take steps to maximise the opportunities available to both the Council and the appointed supplier. In terms of what the future may look like, the general objectives of the requirement are as follows: To support the Authority in operating, maintaining, inspecting, and refurbishing our intelligent transport systems. The five Berkshire Authorities operate and maintain approximately 525 intelligent transport assets, comprising of signal-controlled junctions, signal-controlled crossings, Fire Station Wig-wags, car park equipment, variable message signs, rising bollards and C.C.T.V. cameras. The Council operates a whole life asset management programme and is currently expecting to spend approximately PS2,500,000.00 per annum on refurbishment of its intelligent transport systems. We recognise that in order to maximise the success of this contract, the Council will need to put in place a contract which provides the appointed supplier with further opportunities to deliver innovative services which may change the way in which the contract is delivered in the future. We therefore plan to encourage the successful bidder to work together with the Council and its partner organisations to innovate and enable the results to be implemented. For example, the Council are currently considering how greater use of technology may improve service delivery, how other services can be delivered in an innovative way via the appointed supplier and putting in place a mechanism which encourages the supplier to approach the Council with new ideas which can actually be implemented. We are keen to hear your views on this.
