Summary of the contracting process

DfI Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM) procured the supply and delivery of traffic management equipment for road operations. The requirement covered six product areas: traffic cones and cylinders, linked pedestrian barrier boards and hazard warning tape; battery-powered road danger lamps and vehicle-mounted amber beacons; delineator posts and retro-reflectors; banding and sign-fixing systems; non-trans-illuminated bollards; and metal decorative bollards, including Manchester and Templebar types. This is a goods procurement for a central government transport and roads organisation based in Belfast, serving road asset management requirements in Northern Ireland. The equipment falls within road traffic-control, road barrier, road sign and general road equipment supply.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure, evaluated solely on the most advantageous tender with price weighted at 100%; economic and technical selection criteria also applied. Awards were made on 5 August 2026 and contracts were signed on 20 August 2026. CID Trading Limited won Lot 1 for £129,615 excluding VAT (£155,538 gross). PWS Ireland Limited won Lot 2 for £57,605 (£69,126 gross), Lot 3 for £155,480 (£186,576 gross), Lot 4 for £13,450 (£16,140 gross), Lot 5 for £123,655 (£148,386 gross), and Lot 6 for £185,250 (£222,300 gross). Each contract runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2027, with four possible one-year extensions, potentially ending in August 2031.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from TRAM for specialist road-safety and traffic-management equipment supplied across distinct product categories. Relevant competitors would need dependable manufacturing or distribution capability for cones, barriers, warning lamps, delineator posts, reflectors, sign-fixing systems and bollards, with the ability to supply both standard and decorative products. Credibility would depend on meeting the buyer’s economic and technical selection requirements, maintaining consistent product quality and safety performance, and providing reliable delivery and stock capacity. The competition attracted small and medium-sized enterprises, showing that focused suppliers can compete alongside broader traffic-management distributors. Businesses with a strong range in one or more lots, robust logistics and experience supplying public-sector road operations would be well placed when this requirement returns.
