## Summary

The procurement process for the supply, fitting, and maintenance of variable message signs for town centre car parks was conducted by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, a regional authority in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The tender falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on parking services related to variable message signs. The award stage of the procurement took place on 10th July 2025, and the contract has been successfully signed and activated, with a total value of £155,956. The council employed a limited procurement method, bypassing the need for prior publication of a call for competition, as it was a call-off from the CCS Framework. The selected supplier for this contract is Swarco YK & Ireland, a large-scale company based in Basingstoke.

This tender presents potential business growth opportunities for companies specialising in electronic signage and parking management systems. Companies with expertise in the development and maintenance of traffic management technologies are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, particularly those with capabilities to meet specific regional requirements like those of South Yorkshire. Furthermore, companies that are part of existing frameworks such as the CCS will have competitive advantages in accessing such procurements that do not require prior publication of competition calls.
