Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured works to repair vehicle restraint systems, including roadside safety barriers, at Junction 2 on Bangor Road and Junction 4 on Ruthin Road on the A483. The council is acting as a partner authority to the North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency. The requirement is construction and road infrastructure repair work, focused on restoring or maintaining barriers at two trunk-road junctions. Delivery is on the A483 in the Wrexham area. This is a single requirement covering both junction locations, rather than separate categories of work. It will suit contractors working in vehicle restraint systems, highway safety barriers, road infrastructure maintenance and associated construction repairs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under the council’s financial regulations. It was below the applicable threshold. The award was made on 10 August 2026 to Varley & Gulliver (Hill & Smith VRS). The awarded value is £16,649.28 excluding VAT, or £19,979.14 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. A contract signature was scheduled for 31 August 2026. The award is active and the tender is recorded as complete. The procurement used one lot covering the barrier repairs at both A483 junctions. The published outcome identifies construction work as the main category.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist vehicle restraint system repairs on a Welsh trunk-road route, delivered across two junctions within a single works package. Competitors seeking similar work for Wrexham County Borough Council would need practical capability in roadside barrier repair and replacement, highway construction, and working safely on or near high-speed trunk roads. Relevant experience of inspecting damaged restraint systems, planning repairs around live-road conditions, and delivering compliant installations would help establish credibility. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to coordinate work at more than one junction and to meet the standards and site controls expected by a public highway authority and its trunk-road agency partner. The selected supplier’s specialist VRS background indicates the type of focused expertise that satisfied this requirement.
