Notice Title

Highways England Traffic Officer Vehicle - Alternative Signs

Notice Description

Following feedback from Highways England Traffic Officer's and recommendations following a recent review of Traffic Officer Emergency Traffic Management (ETM) by Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), a project being developed to look at alternatives to the current signs carried in Traffic Officer Vehicles (TOVs). The recent review identified that existing signs can be unstable in adverse weather and often require additional support by ballast or spare signs to remain in position. Given the size and weight of ballast, additional support is usually provided in the form of unused signs or cones. Highways England seek to investigate the market options to fulfil the requirement of alternative signs for Emergency Traffic Management deployment, as per Chapter 8 requirements. Full specification is attached to this notice. If you are able to offer a compliant product and wish to be considered for this opportunity please register your interest via email to Megan Tomlinson (Megan.Tomlinson@highwaysengland.co.uk) by 8am Tuesday 18th February 2020. The submission deadline for this opportunity is 6pm Tuesday 18th February 2020. Potential Suppliers must be registered on Highways England's e-tendering system, Bravo. Registration instructions are attached.
