## Summary

Durham County Council is procuring specialist traffic signal cable for installation, maintenance and replacement work on its traffic signal network. The requirement is for six-core, 1.5mm², non-armoured orange cable, with red, blue, black, yellow, white and orange internal cores. The cable is configured for Yunex Plus+ traffic signal equipment, which is used across the council’s signals estate, so the requirement is focused on compatibility with existing infrastructure rather than general electrical cable supply. The goods category is road traffic-control equipment (CPV 34923000). Delivery and use are in County Durham. This is a single-lot goods requirement bought by the council under a closed framework arrangement, with the purpose of supporting reliable signal installations, maintenance and network replacements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Cleveland Cable Company Limited through a direct award. The award date is 22 September 2026. The award value is £480,000 excluding VAT, or £576,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 1 August 2030. Durham County Council justified the direct award on the basis that Cleveland Cable is the only supplier able to provide the cable made exclusively for Yunex, citing exclusive rights, unique supplier capability and technical reasons. The cable’s specific configuration ensures correct operation with Yunex Plus+ equipment and integration with existing assets. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 22 September 2026.

This procurement indicates sustained demand from Durham County Council for specialist traffic signal cable tied to a defined equipment estate. A credible future competitor would need to supply the exact six-core, 1.5mm² non-armoured orange cable specification, including the specified internal core colours, and demonstrate dependable compatibility with Yunex Plus+ traffic signal equipment. Relevant capability includes specialist cable manufacture or authorised supply, technical assurance that replacements integrate with existing signal assets, and the capacity to support installation and maintenance requirements across a council-wide network. The direct-award rationale shows that exclusivity, intellectual property or supply rights and technical compatibility are decisive considerations. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would therefore need a defensible route to the required product and evidence of continuity of supply.
