Birmingham City Council needs a contractor to install new Average Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera signs and speed limit signs on 5 main roads across Birmingham, plus remove temporary 30 mph signs from 26 other roads. This is part of a safety programme to reduce speeding-related crashes. The camera equipment itself is being bought separately — you're just doing the sign installation and removal work.
Requirements
- Ability to install ASE Camera Signs on 5 key arterial roads in Birmingham
- Ability to install Speed Limit Signs with all necessary supporting infrastructure
- Ability to remove temporary '30 mph speed limit' signs from street lighting columns and existing posts across 26 roads in Birmingham
- Competence to carry out associated works and infrastructure installation
- No specific qualifications or certifications mentioned in the notice — check the full tender documents for health & safety, traffic management, or sign installation standards
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Install new ASE camera warning signs on 5 arterial roads (specific locations to be confirmed in tender documents)
- Install speed limit signs with supporting infrastructure on those same 5 roads
- Remove existing temporary '30 mph speed limit' signs from 26 different roads across Birmingham (removed from street lighting columns and posts)
- Provide all necessary supporting infrastructure for the new signs (likely posts, brackets, fixings, and structural support)
- Complete all associated ancillary works needed for sign installation
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a straightforward service contract for physical installation work — not a supply-only deal. You're providing labour and expertise, not just delivering materials.
- 2The work has two main parts: (1) installing new signs on 5 roads and (2) removing old signs on 26 roads. Get clarity on whether these are the same roads or different locations — the documents should specify exact postcodes or road names.
- 3Watch for 'supporting infrastructure' in the tender documents — this likely means you'll need to install or upgrade posts, brackets, and fixings. Don't assume signs are just stuck to existing poles.
- 4Check the tender documents for traffic management requirements — you may need to arrange road closures, temporary traffic lights, or banksmen (spotters) for safety, which affects your costs and timeline.
- 5The camera equipment is being bought separately, so don't bid to supply or install the cameras themselves — scope creep here is a common reason bids fail.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not a large sign installation company, consider partnering with a traffic management or street furniture specialist as a subcontractor or consortium partner. Many councils prefer single-point accountability, so leading the bid yourself (even with subs) may be stronger than bidding as a subcontractor.
- ASE camera signs may have specific design or compliance standards (likely Department for Transport or Traffic Regulation Order requirements). Request the design specifications and technical drawings early — budget for any training or accreditation needed if this is new to you.
- Build in contingency for weather delays and traffic management costs. Sign installation on busy arterial roads is weather-dependent and may require evening/weekend working. Factor this into your labour costs and timeline.
