Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council bought a safety barrier, described as an H Stop, for use at Chinatown market. The barrier is intended to support the market’s operation and could also be used at other markets where roads are closed. The goods are for delivery in Liverpool. This is a purchase of physical traffic-management equipment rather than an ongoing service or construction project, with the stated purpose of helping manage road closures for market activity.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CROWDGUARD LIMITED. The council used a below-threshold procurement route; the recorded method details do not identify a more specific procedure. The award covers one lot for safety-barrier goods. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and ran from 29 to 30 September 2026. Its value was £13,080 excluding VAT (£15,696 including VAT). The recorded procurement information gives no separate evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the award basis cannot be described beyond the route and scope stated here.

For suppliers of road-safety and traffic-management equipment, this award indicates a council requirement for a deployable H Stop barrier to support a market operating amid road closures. Credible competitors when a similar requirement returns would need to supply equipment suited to controlling or protecting access around market areas, and to deliver it for use in Liverpool. The potential application at other markets suggests the buyer may value equipment usable across more than one market setting, rather than a solution tied solely to Chinatown. The award went to a small and medium-sized supplier, showing that this purchase was delivered by an SME; the procurement does not set out specific accreditation, technical standards, staffing levels or prior-experience thresholds.
