The work covers safety barriers, bridge parapets, crash terminals, transitions, crash cushions, vehicle arrester beds, cattle grids, antiglare screens, pedestrian restraints, and suicide prevention systems. The selected provider will support the Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS) team by delivering expert technical assurance, research, and specialist knowledge to assist with: procurement and development of road restraint standards; investigation of RRS-related incidents and accidents; provision of expert witness services for Coroner's Inquests; response to customer and stakeholder enquiries; and operation of RRS on the national motorway and trunk road network. This support will help National Highways meet RIS 3 safety targets, establish and maintain industry-leading standards that other UK highway authorities adopt, and provide timely guidance to local authorities, contractors, manufacturers, and maintaining agents on RRS policy and compliance.
