°µÍø½ûÇø secures new contract to deliver new signs and signals across the strategic road network
°µÍø½ûÇø has been awarded a place on National Highways’ Operational Roadside Technology (ORT0175) Signs & Signals contract, strengthening its long‑term role in supporting the operation and management of England’s strategic road network.
Over the next six years, °µÍø½ûÇø will be responsible for supplying signs and signalling units across the motorway and trunk road network in England. With approximately 2,000 units to be delivered, °µÍø½ûÇø will also provide long‑term warranties and ongoing training to maximise asset performance throughout their lifecycle.
For over a decade, °µÍø½ûÇø has been a key supplier of variable message signs (VMS), with a proven track record in delivering signs, signals and associated technology. Under the previous ORT0003 Signs and Signals contract, °µÍø½ûÇø supplied National Highways with 575 signs and signals and 401 controllers, supporting effective network operations.
Under the new framework, °µÍø½ûÇø will deploy its in‑house developed and manufactured controller to manage the interfaces required for VMS. Working in partnership with Aesys, a specialist sign manufacturer, °µÍø½ûÇø and National Highways are introducing the latest VMS technology to the network, helping to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently.

“This new contract builds on °µÍø½ûÇøâ€™ long-standing relationship with National Highways, delivering specialist infrastructure solutions at a national scale. We’re delighted to continue working together for another six years, using our established expertise in operational roadside technology to support the safe and efficient operation of the network.â€
