Purpose

To seek authorisation for the procurement of a
contract for i) refurbishment and upgrade of existing traffic
signal sites in North Yorkshire and ii) installation of new traffic
signal sites in North Yorkshire

Decision

The procurement of a new contract for design,
supply and installation of traffic signals equipment, including
upgrades to existing sites and installation of new sites from
2026-2030 is approved.

Reasons for the decision

The recommendations will enable a procurement
exercise to be carried out to ensure that NYC is able to upgrade
its existing and install new, traffic signal sites.

Alternative options considered

Utilising an existing external framework was
considered, however this would require a further competition
exercise to be carried out for each new scheme / block of schemes.
Procuring our own contract, provides improved efficiency compared
to existing external frameworks.

Additionally establishing our own contract allows the
specifications and terms of the contracts to be more aligned to the
requirements of North Yorkshire. It also ensures that we can
achieve best value and the relevant price / quality split for
assessment meets the requirements of North Yorkshire.
