Decision details

RESOLVED:

1.    That Cabinet approve the award of the Intelligent Traffic Systems contract to the successful bidder.

2.    That Cabinet delegate authority to finalise and enter into contract with the successful bidder to the Executive Director for Environment, Transport and Infrastructure in consultation with the Executive Director for Resources and the Cabinet Member for Transport and Infrastructure.

Reasons for Decisions:

Surrey County Council has a general ‘Network Management Duty’ under the Traffic Management Act 2004, and the County’s Traffic System Assets play a key role in delivering this Duty.  The award of the Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) contract will enable Surrey County Council to continue to inspect, maintain and improve traffic control systems on its highway network across the county.

Following approval of the Procurement Strategy in September 2020, officers from Highways and Transport supported by officers from across the Council including Procurement, Legal Finance and Strategic Commissioning have conducted an “Open Procedure” procurement exercise to identify the next Intelligent Traffic Systems contractor.

Following the recent completion of that procurement process, officers are now able to recommend the contract be awarded to the “most economically advantageous tenderer” as explained in the Part 2 report.
