UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council bought a road-safety barrier system, described as an H Stop, for use at Chinatown market. The equipment is intended to enable the market to operate safely where roads are closed, and could also be used at other markets requiring road closures. This is a supply requirement for physical traffic and crowd-protection equipment, rather than a market-management service or construction project. Delivery was in Liverpool, where the council is based. The requirement points to suppliers of barriers or hostile vehicle mitigation equipment able to provide a system suitable for market environments and temporary road closures.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Crowdguard Limited. The council used a below-threshold procedure; no further procedure type is recorded. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and ran from 22 to 30 September 2026. Its value was £36,540 excluding VAT (£43,848 including VAT). The award covered safety barriers for the single lot, with delivery in Liverpool. The published process information does not set out evaluation criteria or participation requirements, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be summarised.

For suppliers competing when Liverpool City Council next buys this type of equipment, the relevant capability is supplying H Stop or comparable safety barriers for market settings and road closures. Products need to support safe market operation, with potential use across more than one market. This was a focused goods purchase rather than a large, multi-lot programme, and the selected supplier was a specialist crowd-protection business. Barrier manufacturers, distributors and providers with experience equipping public spaces for temporary traffic restrictions would be well placed to demonstrate product suitability, dependable supply and the ability to support the council’s operational requirements. The council’s stated possibility of using the equipment at other markets makes adaptable deployment relevant, while the awarded purchase shows demand for this specific kind of road-safety provision.
