Road barriers

Tender description

The MPS require the provision of all plant and equipment to provide deployment and recovery of Temporary Vertical Concrete Blocks (TVCBs), similar products and associated accessories as specified in BS EN 1317 Temporary Safety Barriers within the OSG Operational Area. The Metropolitan Police Service (the Authority) is the largest police force in the UK. In the current challenging economic climate the organisation has achieved significant progress and change; delivering cost reductions and improved value for money, whilst continuing to provide an exemplary service to Londoners' and visitors to London. The key objectives of the Authority are to cut crime and increase public confidence whilst reducing costs and therefore they continue to look for more innovative ways to help meet the targets. As the strategy continues to evolve, and the desire for delivering “more for less” remains, KBR is seeking to engage with the market to explore options for delivering the most appropriate service for the most competitive market cost, whilst ensuring fairness and transparency throughout. The purpose of this prior information notice (PIN) is to engage the market in preparation for the tendering of the Supply and Hire of Traffic Barriers Services. Interested suppliers will be invited to participate in a market engagement exercise that aims to provide the MPS with an innovative and potentially alternative solution that will enhance the delivery of these services across the estate, reduce costs and provide value for money.
