In plain English

Leicestershire County Council wants one contractor to look after the crash barriers along its roads, which are the metal or concrete safety barriers that stop vehicles leaving the carriageway. The work covers inspections, urgent and planned repairs, upgrades, re-tensioning (tightening the cables on cable barriers) and small new installations. The estimated value is £3 million.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out preliminary assessments and inspections of vehicle restraint systems across the county's road network • Provide emergency and planned repairs, improvements, re-tensioning and minor installations, under a single long-term NEC4 term service contract • Manage the work to the council's standards, including reporting, programme management and the contract's cost and performance rules

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A small business would most likely be disqualified by lacking NHSS 19 or equivalent road restraint competence, or by not meeting the financial and insurance thresholds needed to deliver a £3 million, multi-year single supplier contract.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
