## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Cyngor Gwynedd pertains to the acquisition of replacement street lighting communication nodes for the trunk road network in Wales. This tender, titled "NMWTRA Replacement Street Lighting Communication Nodes 2026," falls within the industry category of street-lighting equipment and is governed by the Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement method is a direct award due to technical specificity, ensuring compatibility with the established communication protocol. The award was signed on 24th February 2026, for delivery within the region UKL13 in the United Kingdom, with a contract value gross amounting to £304,500, effective from 24th February 2026 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in street-lighting equipment, particularly those capable of providing manufacturer-specific solutions. Given the direct procurement method employed, suppliers with the capacity to deliver technically compatible goods, such as small and medium-sized enterprises that align closely with existing protocols, will have the advantage. Companies like Telensa Limited, already identified as the supplier in this process, exemplify the type of business well-suited to leverage such contracts to expand their operations across Wales' trunk road network, ensuring continuity and safety in infrastructure efficiency.

## Notice

Procurement of Replacement Street Lighting Communication Nodes for Trunk Road Network. The contract covers the direct purchase of street lighting communication nodes that interface with the existing, Wales wide street lighting communication methodology used across the trunk road network. These nodes enable remote monitoring, control, diagnostics and energy management of street lighting assets. The procurement is required to maintain system continuity following the end of life status of the existing communication nodes, which are no longer supported by the current manufacturer.

### Procurement Information

* The existing system operates a manufacturer specific communication protocol, and only the original manufacturer can supply nodes that are fully compatible with the established communication methodology deployed across trunk roads in Wales. * The current nodes in use have reached end of life, meaning replacements and support cannot be sourced from alternative suppliers. * Introducing a different manufacturer's nodes would require complete redesign, reconfiguration and testing of the Wales wide lighting communications platform--resulting in disproportionate cost, major operational disruption, and a risk to the delivery of statutory highway lighting functions. * Therefore, a direct award to the manufacturer is the only viable approach to ensure continuity and safety.
