## Description

We are inviting suppliers to respond on soft market testing for an alleygating tender to be sent out to market in early 2022\. Gating has proven to be an effective tool in reducing opportunistic theft and those instances of burglary where offenders have accessed premises from the rear\. The gates provide a physical barrier, which make rear alleyways more difficult to access and exit, reducing their appeal to an offender\. Whilst gates are primarily utilised as a burglary prevention tool\. They also provide other ancillary benefits, such as reducing opportunities for fly tipping, drug dealing and other criminal activities which can occur in alleys and other spaces\. Gating has an important role in helping residents to feel safer and reducing the fear of crime in an area\.
