## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Costain Ltd on behalf of the SMP Alliance in relation to the provision of Steel Vehicle Restraint Systems. This project falls under the category of works in the construction industry and is focused on supplying vehicle restraint barriers for national works allocation. The tender is currently in the planning stage with a deadline for registration of interest set for two weeks, followed by a tender return period of three weeks. The main contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st April 2021 and conclude on 1st April 2026, with a total estimated value of £1,000,000. The tender method is an open procedure above the threshold.

This opportunity could lead to significant growth for businesses specialising in road safety and construction, particularly those experienced in providing crash barriers and related components.
