A single tender exercise is being undertaken with a view to separate contracts being entered into by each Local Authority. No guarantee can be given that all of the above Local Authorities will enter into a Contract with the successful tenderer.

No undertaking is given as to the minimum or maximum volume of work and/or spends under this Contract.

The chosen Contractor will have a proven track record in cost effective repair and maintenance of Intelligent Transport Systems, (holding on stock all items necessary to provide the service together with the ability to source such stock at short notice, locally or nationally as required) and the provision of managed services for operation of control centre/systems. Design of ITS systems/improvements and installation work may also be undertaken under this Contract.

The Local Authorities have limited financial resources to fund the service; therefore the Contractor will be expected to keep the service under continuous review with a view to the overall cost of the Service to the LCR Local Authorities being reduced consistent with the Contractor complying with the quality requirements set out in the Contract.

Halton Borough Council is the lead procurement Local Authority but the Contractor will enter into contract on a several basis with each participating Local Authority in respect of services relevant to that Local Authority.
