The work includes traffic control services and installation of illumination and signalling systems. The council’s detailed requirements are set out in the contract specification. The framework is intended to provide contractors for traffic signal projects commissioned by the council, with individual projects priced using rates in the pricing schedule. Suppliers will need to register on the Source East Midlands tendering portal to participate. The requirement is classified as works and is located in Nottingham. The council invited tenders through an open competition for a framework, seeking to appoint up to three contractors. The enquiry deadline was 26 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the tender submission deadline was 3 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The framework period is from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2031, at the council’s discretion. Its estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT. Call-offs up to £10,000 are made by direct award in ranked order; higher-value call-offs use direct award from a basket of goods. Projects are priced solely using the pricing schedule rates. Award is based on price (70%), quality (20%) and social value (10%). This framework may suit established traffic-signal and highways contractors able to deliver installation and traffic-control work across Nottingham. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable, so the opportunity is not limited to large suppliers. Successful suppliers would need to be capable of undertaking projects commissioned over a multi-year framework and pricing work against the council’s schedule of rates. Up to three contractors may be appointed, with projects allocated through direct-award arrangements rather than a further competition. The specification defines the detailed technical requirements, while the evaluation gives the greatest weight to price, alongside quality and social value. Suppliers should be equipped to demonstrate relevant experience and qualifications, although specific accreditation or capacity thresholds are not stated in the procurement details. ## Notice Nottingham City Council is seeking tenders from suitably experienced and qualified suppliers for inclusion on a Framework to deliver traffic signals work within the boundaries of Nottingham City Council.
