Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is planning a highways engineering service for vehicle restraint systems across Leicestershire. The scope covers initial assessments, emergency repairs, planned repairs, improvements, re-tensioning and minor installations associated with these systems. This is a public-sector highways maintenance requirement, suited to contractors that inspect, repair, improve and install roadside vehicle restraint infrastructure. The council is the buying organisation and will use the service for activity within its county area. The requirement is classified as services rather than works or goods, although delivery will involve practical maintenance and installation activity on highways. The procurement is presented as a single overall requirement rather than separate service areas, so suppliers should be able to provide the full range of assessment, repair and installation services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Leicestershire County Council has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The council expects to use an open procedure for the service. The planned contract is for one lot, with an indicative term from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029 and a possible extension or renewal taking the maximum period to 31 January 2031. The estimated value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. The council’s planned date for the next notice is 1 October 2026. The single lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is above the applicable threshold.

The work will suit highways maintenance contractors and specialist vehicle restraint system providers with the operational capacity to cover Leicestershire and deliver both reactive and planned work. Relevant capability includes carrying out condition or safety assessments, responding to emergency repair requests, completing planned repairs and improvements, re-tensioning restraint systems, and undertaking minor installations. Suppliers should be able to manage varied work across an extended service period, combining rapid response with scheduled maintenance and practical site delivery. Firms with established highway engineering teams, suitable equipment and experience working safely on public roads are likely to be well placed when the procurement reaches the market. The requirement is also identified as suitable for SMEs, including capable specialist firms and collaborative delivery teams.
