Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned highway surface works for the M20 between Junctions 9 and 10, eastbound, under the requirement titled “PDF Framework - M20 J9 to 10 EB R3”. The procurement concerns works rather than goods or routine professional services, with the relevant classification being surface work for highways (CPV 45233210). Delivery is identified across the United Kingdom and also includes the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The practical focus is the M20 eastbound section between Junctions 9 and 10, making this relevant to contractors involved in road surfacing, carriageway maintenance and associated highway works for National Highways.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to Holcim UK Limited on 23 July 2026 for £688,902.93 including the published GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 July 2026 to 25 September 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was structured as a single highway-works requirement, covering the M20 Junctions 9 to 10 eastbound section. The award is active, and the tender itself is marked complete.

For suppliers that did not secure this call-off, the award demonstrates demand from National Highways for substantial, defined highway surface works delivered through a framework route. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this type would be established road-surfacing and carriageway-maintenance contractors with the plant, operatives, supervision and operational capacity to work on a strategic motorway section. Experience of delivering highway works safely and to the required quality standards would be important, alongside the ability to plan traffic-sensitive operations, coordinate resources and complete a concentrated programme within the buyer’s required delivery window. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, so capable smaller contractors may be credible competitors, either directly or through a framework position and suitable delivery arrangements.
