189 Siemens has agreed new traffic signal maintenance contracts with four highways authorities in the UK, increasing the company's service cover across the country. The contracts are already under way in Coventry, Nottingham and Warwickshire, and due to start in Solihull shortly.

Based on a competitive schedule of rates for a combination of various customer requirements, the contracts will run for five years and cover the maintenance of more than 400 traffic signal junctions, traffic equipment at almost 550 pedestrian crossings and all ancillary equipment and minor civil works associated with maintaining the traffic signal equipment.

The works also include the maintenance of 86 car park variable message signs; free text variable message signs and the supply/installation/commissioning of traffic signal equipment associated with the upgrades of existing sites.

According to Gafoor Din, Principal Engineer at Warwickshire County, the high quality bid submitted by the company and their proposal to work in partnership with all four authorities secured the contract for Siemens.

The process of agreeing service level agreements between the authorities has been endorsed by Richard Childs, 1682 UTMC Manager at Nottingham City Council, ‘It is clear that the collaboration offered increased benefits in the fact that many officers around the table were experts in their fields and the industry, maximising potential for a much improved and highly efficient contract’, he said.
