UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Borough Council has completed a procurement process under the title "TS0655 Felling Bypass VRS" for the supply of materials required to install a new Vehicle Restraint System (VRS) to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and motorists. The council is located in Gateshead, UK, and the contract was awarded to HILL & SMITH VRS LIMITED, based in Solihull, UK. This procurement falls under the industry category of road equipment and was conducted via a direct procurement method below the competitive threshold. The contract for the supply of goods was signed on 2nd December 2025, with the period extending until 31st March 2026, and has a total value of £104,543.40.

This tender highlights a targeted opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in road safety equipment and systems. As the procurement was conducted directly with a single supplier due to specific training requirements for the installation of the VRS, companies offering compatible systems or related consultancy might consider fostering partnerships or showcasing compliant systems to similar public authorities. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative or cost-effective solutions for road safety infrastructure can leverage such opportunities to expand their business footprint in the public sector.
