## Summary

Suffolk County Council is procuring an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) with a focus on maintenance services for public lighting installations and traffic lights. This procurement process falls under the services category and involves selective competition with negotiation. The procurement, detailed under ID CD1383-2, covers activities primarily taking place in Suffolk and the wider East of England region. The deadline for submission of the Selection Questionnaire is noon on 22nd January 2024, with the clarification questions deadline set for 5 pm on 9th January 2024. Key procurement stages include a competitive procedure, initially planned and now awarded, with the contract running until 2034 and having renewal options extending up to 10 years.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport systems, public lighting maintenance, and traffic management services. Given the comprehensive nature of the ITS project, businesses with a robust track record in managing complex maintenance services and emergency fault handling would find this particularly advantageous. The procurement involves reduced subsequent stages with no negotiation necessary, making it an ideal opportunity for large and capable suppliers such as Swarco UK & Ireland Ltd, who was awarded the contract. This creates a pathway for other businesses to engage in similar future procurement initiatives or similar opportunities within the East of England region, fostering regional business growth and operational stability through governmental contracts.
