The procurement involves acquiring an Incursion Warning Radar System for Traffic Officers and road workers on the strategic road network to detect approaching vehicles and provide alerts via wearable devices. The contract, classified under the goods category with additional services, was awarded on 7th July 2026 to Race Technology Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Eastwood, UK, which specialises in this tech due to exclusive intellectual property rights.
