## Summary

Kingston upon Hull City Council is procuring services to upgrade and improve its existing traffic management technology infrastructure. The work covers the Council’s UTC, SCOOT, VMS and CPGS platforms, which support the management, optimisation and communication of traffic on the road network. The requirement concerns an established intelligent transport system rather than new road construction or general IT services. The Council is based in Hull, and the upgrade relates to its existing traffic systems serving the city. The selected provider is Yunex Limited, a large traffic technology company. The procurement is therefore relevant to suppliers with experience in urban traffic control, traffic signal optimisation, variable message systems and the integration or enhancement of established intelligent transport infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award to Yunex Limited. The award date is 15 September 2026, with a contract period from 28 September 2026 to 30 June 2030. The estimated value is £429,493 excluding VAT, or £515,391.60 including VAT. The award covers one lot and is classified as services. The Council’s stated basis for the direct award is that its existing traffic ITS infrastructure is fully interoperable only with Yunex systems; using another supplier would require significant additional cost, system alterations or wholesale replacement of equipment. The process relies on technical reasons and exclusive intellectual property or rights. A signature milestone was scheduled for 25 September 2026, following a standstill period ending on 24 September 2026.

For a supplier assessing future work from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates demand for specialist traffic management technology upgrades at an established, integrated systems estate. A credible competitor would need practical capability across UTC, SCOOT, VMS and CPGS platforms, together with experience of upgrading live intelligent transport infrastructure without undermining interoperability or requiring wholesale replacement. Strong systems integration, traffic technology engineering and knowledge of compatibility constraints would be important. Suppliers would also need to show that their technology can work with, or offer a commercially credible transition from, incumbent systems, because compatibility and the cost of system alteration were central to the Council’s procurement decision. The requirement is most relevant to established traffic technology and intelligent transport specialists rather than general construction or IT providers.
