Description

The Traffic Systems Asset Maintenance contract provides full maintenance provision for existing and new technology assets on the Kent Highway network, primarily traffic signals but also electronic message signs, CCTV and associated communications infrastructure, to include: • Routine inspections of equipment to meet statutory duties • Fault repairs due to wear and tear or third-party damage • Temporary switch off traffic signals to allow third parties to undertake works • Planned works to modify existing assets or renew life expired equipment • Communications between on-street units and the Traffic Operations Centre in Aylesford • Provision, operation and management of a fault reporting/monitoring platform • Emergency call out to make damaged equipment safe during out of hours All traffic systems assets used to manage the highway network are of a very specialist and technical nature. The supplier will have the technical capability to deliver the whole contract. Following engagement with various authorities and providers, the approach is to create a contract that addresses both routine and non-routine works. This contract will outline the means, measures and payment mechanism for effectively maintaining the Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) asset, while ensuring a balanced approach to risk. The Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) inventory of equipment comprises the following: • 365 traffic signal-controlled junctions • 417 traffic light controlled pedestrian crossings (pelican, puffin, toucan, pegasus) • 148 electronic roadside message signs (VMS) • 236 electronic vehicle activated warning signs (VAS) • 191 highway monitoring CCTV cameras • 1 over-height vehicle detection site This service is primarily focused on maintaining all existing traffic systems assets and restoring equipment to normal operation. In addition, the contract will include refurbishment of existing assets using capital funding, and the provision of new Kent County Council funded signal schemes, although the level of this is not guaranteed. This contract shall not include installation of third-party installations, nor major highway schemes which will be procured via separate tenders. As this is a Services contract, the annual contract value is subject to fluctuation. Services will generally be called off from a Schedule of Rates (SORs) as required. The expected annual value is approximately £2.3 million to £2.8 million, giving an overall expected contract value of £23 million to £28 million, broken down as follows: -Initial Term (5 years): £11.5 million - £14 million -Optional Extension Term (up to 5 years): £11.5 million - £14 million The anticipated contract periods are: -Initial Term: 01 April 2026 - 31 March 2031 -Optional Extension: 01 April 2031 - 31 March 2036 An anticipated maximum contract value of £45 million has been set to allow for inflation, compensation events, additional requirements, changes to service levels, budgetary adjustments, additional in‑scope activities, and other variations. All values are estimates and may be exceeded during the life of the contract.
