Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Seeks Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Across 40-50 Venues.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Seeks Hostile Vehicle Mitigation – The Brisbane Organising Committee for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games is seeking suppliers for hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) infrastructure and services, with tenders closing June 30, 2026.
The tender package covers the design, supply, installation, and operation of HVM measures across an estimated 40 to 50 competition and non-competition venues – this is a monster contract that will likely require partnership across state lines. The scope reflects the scale and complexity of securing high-footfall environments during major international events, where vehicle-borne threats must be addressed without disrupting access, transport and emergency response.
Hostile vehicle mitigation systems will form a core layer of the Games’ physical security strategy, supporting controlled vehicle access and protecting pedestrian zones across both temporary overlays and permanent infrastructure. Solutions are expected to include a mix of fixed and deployable measures such as bollards, barriers and road blockers, along with manual and automated vehicle access control systems.
The tender also calls for integration with broader security systems, including fencing, access control and surveillance, alongside engineering support to ensure deployment aligns with traffic flow, site constraints and emergency access requirements. Compliance with Australian standards, international HVM ratings and Games-specific specifications will be required.
How HVM will integrate is not said, but the first thing that springs to SEN’s mind is video surveillance and AI alerts of vehicle movements and vehicle strikes at defended perimeters. This won’t be easy to apply globally unless CCTV trailers are deployed, as many venues are likely to be set up with portable barriers.
Given the distributed nature of the Games, suppliers will need to demonstrate experience delivering HVM solutions across multiple sites and in complex urban environments, with the ability to adapt to evolving risk profiles and operational demands.
The scope extends beyond installation, including maintenance during the Games period and post-event decommissioning, with consideration for reuse or integration of assets into long-term infrastructure where appropriate.
