What is being bought

Published requirement description

he National Barrier Asset consists of a collection of Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) owned vehicle security barriers & protective security fencing collectively termed the "National Barrier Asset" (NBA). The NBA is deployed to block roads, footways & other locations to prevent/mitigate Vehicle borne threats from a Vehicle as a Weapon (VAW) Attack or as a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) against infrastructure, persons & publicly accessible locations.

Since its development, the national demand for NBA protection against terrorist attacks has increased to cover a diverse range of temporary events which can include local, national & globally focused Government Events, Police Operations, Sporting & music events & other entertainment events. The NBA is tested &approved to UK & International specifications.

The purpose of the NBA Framework is for one Contractor to provide storage, maintenance & deployment services on behalf of the Authority for a maximum of 4 years (3+1 year optional extension). The Contractor will also have the opportunity to supplement the NBA with their own stock should the need arise during the life of the Framework. Eligible Users of this Framework are Police Authorities, Public Sector Bodies, International Partners & selected Private Sector Organisations.

  • Recurrence: It is anticipated that the NBA framework will be required following the expiry of this new framework. Notices for the next iteration should be expected 6-8 months prior to the expiry of this new framework.
