## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has issued a tender for the Scarborough Traffic Signals Upgrade project, aimed at replacing and enhancing traffic signal equipment at crucial junctions in Harrogate. The procurement process is currently at the tender update stage, with an imminent deadline for electronic submissions by 17 March 2026. The project falls under the industry category of installation of traffic lights and related civil engineering works, with a total anticipated contract value of £500,000. This significant development will take place in the UK region UKE2, overseen by a public authority entity, ensuring compliance with Department for Transport and British Standards. The contract is set to commence on 1 September 2026, lasting until the end of March 2027, governed by NEC4 ECSC terms and requiring contractors to deploy strategies to mitigate environmental impacts and contribute social value.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, primarily for contractors specialising in traffic signal installation and civil engineering works. The project's open procurement method favours competitive bidding, encouraging participation from SMEs with suitable capabilities. The scope includes modern traffic management systems and infrastructure upgrades, creating opportunities for businesses skilled in cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices. Key criteria such as compliance with CDM, robust insurance coverage, a 50:50 evaluation on price-to-quality, and provision of warranty and technical documentation mean that businesses with strong project management and technical expertise will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, the emphasis on recycling and social value contributes to long-term engagement in regional infrastructure development, presenting an attractive prospect for organisations committed to sustainable business practices.

## Notice

North Yorkshire Council is seeking a contractor to deliver the Scarborough Traffic Signals Upgrade project, which involves the full replacement and upgrade of traffic signal equipment at key junctions in Harrogate. The works include installing new LED/ELV signal equipment, converting pedestrian facilities from farside to nearside, and improving traffic flow through modern control systems. The scope also covers kerb line alterations, tactile paving, ducting, civil engineering works, and integration with the existing UTC SCOOT system. CCTV cameras will be installed at both junctions for enhanced traffic monitoring. The project requires compliance with Department for Transport standards, British Standards, and Local Transport Notes, with all equipment being new and type-approved. The anticipated contract value is PS500,000, and the works are expected to take 12-16 weeks, avoiding the summer embargo period. Contractors must provide detailed programmes, RAMS, and traffic management plans to minimise disruption, particularly near Harrogate Grammar School and Otley Road, a major route with high traffic volumes. The contract will be governed by NEC4 ECSC terms and evaluated on a 50:50 price-to-quality basis. Mandatory requirements include insurance cover (PS10m for PL, PI, and EL), CDM compliance, and sustainability measures for recycling decommissioned equipment. Social value contributions and strategies to reduce environmental impact are expected. Upon completion, the contractor will provide as-built drawings, manuals, and a one-year warranty, including defect rectification within agreed periods.
