Summary of the contracting process

Gedling Borough Council procured portable hostile vehicle mitigation equipment and related training for deployment at events. The requirement covers Pitagone F18 units, together with storage racks and wheel blockers, to support event security and vehicle access control. The supplier was also required to provide two CPD training sessions for council staff on deploying the equipment, with delivery included. The procurement is for goods supported by installation-related and training services. Delivery is for the council’s operating area in Nottinghamshire. The buyer is Gedling Borough Council, based at the Civic Centre in Arnold. The opportunity would suit suppliers of portable vehicle barriers, bollards, road-traffic control or security equipment that can also provide practical operational training and arrange delivery of the complete equipment package.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated on price alone, weighted at 100%; bids exceeding the stated maximum contract value were non-compliant. The tender deadline was 26 June 2026 at noon, with enquiries closing on 17 June 2026 at noon. Hill & Smith Infrastructure Limited was awarded the requirement. The stated maximum was £65,000 excluding VAT, or £75,000 including VAT. The signed contract value was £64,838.41 excluding VAT, or £77,806.09 including VAT. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and its recorded term runs from 11 August to 30 November 2026. The tender lot period was recorded as 17 August to 30 September 2026. The process was below the relevant threshold.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Gedling Borough Council for portable hostile vehicle mitigation at public events, combining physical equipment with staff training rather than treating supply as a standalone purchase. A credible future competitor would need to supply Pitagone F18 units or an equivalent event-ready vehicle mitigation solution, alongside compatible storage racks and wheel blockers. It would also need the practical knowledge and suitably qualified personnel to deliver two CPD training sessions covering deployment by council staff. The requirement favours suppliers able to manage the full package, including delivery and equipment coordination, while offering a tightly controlled, price-led submission within the council’s stated ceiling. Specialist security-equipment manufacturers, traffic-control suppliers and established distributors with training capability are the closest fit.
