## Summary

Torbay Council procured an upgrade to highway traffic-control system hardware for its highways operations. The requirement covers traffic-signal maintenance services and maintenance of radio-communications equipment, including the communications infrastructure supporting traffic-control systems. The work is associated with Torbay Council and delivery in the Torbay area of Devon. This is a public-sector highways technology and infrastructure requirement rather than a general IT supply contract: relevant businesses are those able to work with traffic signals, roadside control equipment, radio communications and associated hardware. The council is the buying organisation, and the requirement was arranged as a single package covering the complete upgrade. Suppliers focused solely on unrelated construction, general electrical work or conventional office IT would be less aligned with the stated scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Yunex Limited was selected for the single package. The contract was signed on 15 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £36,464 excluding VAT, or £43,709 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, with competition restricted to invited suppliers under the council’s below-threshold process. The award covers traffic-signal maintenance and radio-communications equipment maintenance in support of the communications upgrade. The published outcome identifies Yunex Limited as the appointed supplier and Torbay Council as the buyer. The requirement was treated as services, despite the description referring to an upgrade of hardware.

This award demonstrates demand from Torbay Council for specialist highways traffic-control communications work, combining hardware upgrade activity with ongoing expertise in traffic signals and radio communications. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in maintaining and upgrading roadside traffic-control systems, diagnosing communications faults and integrating radio-communications equipment with existing highways infrastructure. Experience of working safely in public highway environments, coordinating technical works with a local authority and maintaining service continuity would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses with established traffic-management technology teams, field engineers and access to compatible communications and control-system components are better placed than general maintenance providers. The requirement also indicates that the council may use a focused, below-threshold competitive route, so suppliers would benefit from being able to demonstrate a clear, relevant track record for a tightly defined highways technology package.
