Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured a KWF Multibloc System: temporary equipment that had already been installed and was to be made permanent. The requirement is for the sale of safety barriers, classified under CPV 34928300, for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. The buying organisation is the Home Office, a central government authority. The scope relates specifically to converting an installed temporary barrier arrangement into a permanent solution, so relevant businesses are those supplying safety barriers or associated temporary-to-permanent infrastructure equipment. The procurement concerns one requirement and one supplier delivery scope.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under the below-threshold procedure. Hill & Smith Infrastructure Limited was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £158,012.90 excluding VAT, or £189,615.48 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award rather than a competitive tender, with no separate evaluation criteria published in the procurement data. This was a single-lot procurement for the KWF Multibloc System and safety barriers, delivered in the United Kingdom.

For competitors, this procurement demonstrates Home Office demand for safety-barrier systems capable of moving from temporary installation to permanent use. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would need to provide suitable barrier equipment, support its installation or permanent conversion, and demonstrate that their products can meet a government operational environment. The scale of the award indicates a substantial, defined equipment requirement rather than a small routine purchase. Experience supplying safety barriers and temporary infrastructure would be directly relevant. Businesses should also be able to work with a direct, below-threshold purchasing route and provide reliable delivery and support for a one-year contract period.
