Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council is seeking to appoint an organisation to provide Hostile Vehicle Mitigation works and services to improve public safety across Birmingham. The contracting process is currently in the tender stage, with the open procedure allowing widespread participation. Submission through the Council's 'In-tend' system is required, and organisations must register before submitting bids. The tender submission deadline is noon on 27 March 2026. The contract is valued at £2.9 million with a total gross amount of £3,480,001.01 and is scheduled to begin on 01 May 2026, covering a four-year period with an option for a two-year extension based on performance and funding availability. This project pertains to construction works, specifically those related to highways, roads, and public spaces, under the category of public authority sub-central government, with coverage by the GPA.

The Hostile Vehicle Mitigation contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and infrastructure development, particularly those experienced in highway and road works. There are openings for companies possessing capabilities in safety and security installations and services. The procurement process emphasises qualitative aspects, social value, and price, inviting firms who can demonstrate high standards and innovative safety solutions. Businesses able to integrate consistent technology and maintenance regimes will be well-positioned to contribute to enhancing public safety in Birmingham's crowded areas and event spaces. As the project seeks to adopt uniform standards, enterprises offering advanced integration and efficient asset management may gain new partnership opportunities with Birmingham City Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

Notice Description

Birmingham City Council (the "Council") is seeking to appoint an organisation for the provision of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation works/services. Birmingham City Council manages all Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) measures in public spaces throughout Birmingham, including CCTV and other protective strategies. The Council aims to improve public space safety and ensure that event areas can operate securely while fulfilling its legal obligations as a landowner under the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill. Previously, permanent HVM installations in the city centre were mainly implemented not to protect public spaces, but to enforce Traffic Regulation Orders that restrict vehicle access at certain times. These HVM systems have been supplied by different vendors, often lacking reliable maintenance or spare parts, which has resulted in prolonged periods when the HVM was not functioning. Additionally, the risk of hostile or accidental vehicles entering crowded areas--and causing injury or loss of life--has increased considerably. Assets in the city have often been inconsistent in performance integration and technology, requiring differing maintenance and service regimes. It is therefore important that we adopt a single standard and approach. This contract specification outlines the key requirements and expectations for the delivery of the HVM solution. It is intended to ensure that all deliverables, responsibilities, and performance standards are well defined from the outset. The document will form the basis for monitoring compliance and progress throughout the contract lifecycle, supporting effective collaboration and successful project completion. The contract will commence on 01 May 2026 and will be in place for a period of four 4 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability.
