## Summary

The Department of Transport has awarded a contract for the project titled "Post - Impact and Remote Immobilisation Research". This initiative falls within the research and development services sector and is aimed at exploring technical options for the immobilisation of vehicles, particularly in the context of mitigating threats posed by vehicles as potential weapons. The contract, valued at approximately £98,900, was proceeded through a single tender action, and the project began on 9th January 2018, concluding on 31st May 2018. The award notice for this contract was published on 13th December 2018.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in research and development, particularly those specialising in vehicle technology and safety solutions. Companies with expertise in developing technical solutions for vehicle immobilisation, collision response systems, and associated consultancy services would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement could bolster business growth as it allows suppliers to contribute to significant public safety initiatives while expanding their project portfolios.

## Notice

The purpose of the proposed project is to review the technical options that are available, or have the potential to be available, that could permit a vehicle to be immobilised, either remotely or following a collision. This will provide the department with a range of options to further investigate together with an understanding of their limitations. The outcomes from the scoping study will feed into future policy on mitigating "vehicle as a weapon" threats.
