Decision

  Recommendations:  

i.                    Approved the Procurement Strategy for the new Traffic, Highways and Lighting Term Maintenance Contract, as agreed by the Executive on 22 January 2026. The contract will comprise two independently evaluated lots: Traffic and Highways; and Lighting; and will be procured through the Open Procedure for an initial seven-year term, with an option to extend for up to three years. Its estimated value over the maximum ten-year term is £75 million, with a maximum advertised value of £135 million. Awarding the contract will establish a compliant delivery mechanism but will not authorise expenditure beyond approved budgets.

ii.                   Delegated authority to award the contract to the Corporate Director of Environment and Climate Change, following consultation with the Executive Member for Environment, Air Quality and Transport.
