Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council commissioned works to repair vehicle restraint systems and roadside safety barriers at Junction 2 (Bangor Road) and Junction 4 (Ruthin Road) on the A483. The council acted as a partner authority to the North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency. This is highway infrastructure repair and maintenance work, classified under construction work. Delivery is on the A483 in the Wrexham area, at the two specified junctions. The requirement concerns physical repair of existing road restraint equipment rather than general construction, design consultancy or routine highways services. It is therefore most relevant to contractors with specialist experience in vehicle restraint systems, road safety barriers and works on trunk-road or comparable highway infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Wrexham County Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under its financial regulations, with the contract placed by purchase order. One lot was awarded to Varley & Gulliver (Hill & Smith VRS), a large supplier. The award was made on 10 August 2026 for £16,649.28 excluding VAT (£19,979.14 including VAT). The awarded period runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026, with the contract period recorded as 7 September to 31 December 2026. Evaluation was not competitive because the council used a direct award route rather than inviting and comparing bids.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award shows a defined requirement for specialist roadside barrier and vehicle restraint repairs on the A483, commissioned by Wrexham County Borough Council through a direct-award route. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to inspect, repair and reinstate vehicle restraint systems at live or operational highway locations, together with suitable equipment, competent operatives and reliable delivery across multiple junctions. Experience of trunk-road or major-road safety work would help establish relevance, as would the ability to work to the standards, traffic-management arrangements and site controls expected by a highway authority or its agency partners. The successful supplier’s specialist vehicle restraint focus indicates that general construction capacity alone may not be sufficient.
