Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured emergency maintenance and repair works for existing vehicle restraint systems on the A61 Dronfield Bypass. The scope covered supplying materials, arranging and managing temporary traffic management, removing and replacing identified vehicle restraint systems, and removing two existing double-banked roundabout warning signs. The contractor was also required to act as principal contractor, provide a Bill of Quantities with underlying assumptions, supply a price list, coordinate with third parties and stakeholders, and produce a health and safety file. Optional follow-on works were included in the requirement. This is road safety barrier and highway maintenance work, including road barriers, crash barriers and associated road repair services. Delivery was in the East Midlands, at the A61 Dronfield Bypass.

The procurement is complete and one contractor was selected through a below-threshold open competition. H.W. Martin Safety Fencing Limited received the award. The original estimated value was £170,000 excluding VAT (£204,000 including VAT); the signed contract value is £255,000 excluding VAT (£306,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 5 May 2026 and its recorded period runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The single lot was marked complete. The successful tenderer had to meet all pass/fail quality and technical requirements and submit the most advantageous bid. The contract value is above the relevant threshold. An amendment dated 21 August 2026 confirmed provision for optional follow-on works included in the contract.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Derbyshire County Council for specialist vehicle restraint system and highway safety barrier work. A credible competitor would need practical experience repairing and replacing road barriers, together with the ability to supply suitable materials and manage temporary traffic management around live highway works. The requirement also favours a contractor able to take principal contractor responsibilities, prepare a Bill of Quantities and price list, coordinate with external stakeholders, and produce a compliant health and safety file. Capacity to deliver follow-on works is relevant, as is the ability to manage a complete, single-contractor package rather than an isolated supply task. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for the opportunity.
