Provision of a Storage, Maintenance and Deployment Framework for the National Barrier Asset (NBA) - Find a Tender (find-tender.service.gov.uk)

National barrier asset

The National Barrier Asset (NBA) consists of various types of vehicle security barriers and protective security fencing to prevent/mitigate Vehicle Borne terrorist attacks (Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) or Vehicle as Weapon (VAW)) against the public at publicly accessible locations or venues. 

Since its development, the national demand for the NBA to provide protection against terrorist attacks has increased to cover a diverse range of temporary events such as Sporting, Local and National events working with responsible partners such as Police, Government or Private Companies.

There will be a briefing from CTPHQ of the new framework which will provide inputs as follows:

  • CTPHQ Commercial Process – Emily Tobin

  • NVTMU Operational Requirements – Insp Lewis Hastie
