## Summary

Durham County Council is procuring traffic signals equipment as a goods supply requirement. The scope covers equipment for traffic signal systems, including components needed to maintain, repair and preserve the operational integrity of existing installations. The equipment is associated with transport equipment and auxiliary products for transportation (CPV 34000000). Delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is for the council’s traffic signal infrastructure rather than general transport equipment, so relevant suppliers are manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist traffic-systems businesses able to provide compatible equipment for installed systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. AGD Systems Ltd was selected as supplier for the single lot. The award value is £250,000 excluding VAT and £300,000 including VAT. The award date is 15 September 2026, with the contract period running from 16 September 2026 to 3 August 2030. The council justified the direct award because AGD is the original supplier of the existing traffic signal equipment and its components are proprietary, with no compatibility between equipment from different traffic signal manufacturers. The contract is above the relevant threshold. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs. A signature milestone was scheduled for 15 September 2026.

This award indicates sustained demand from Durham County Council for proprietary traffic signal equipment that works with an established installed base. A credible future competitor would need to supply traffic signal components with proven compatibility, understand the technical constraints of existing systems and support the maintenance and repair of operational equipment. Experience in traffic signal manufacturing, distribution or systems support would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need the capacity to serve requirements across multiple English regions and maintain dependable equipment supply over a multi-year arrangement. The opportunity is particularly relevant to SMEs operating in specialist traffic management or road infrastructure supply, provided they can demonstrate a technically compatible product range and the ability to support the council’s existing traffic signal estate.
