Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned development consultancy services for the Snowhill water leak requirement. The procurement is categorised as services and relates to work supporting this specific water-leak issue. Delivery is described across the United Kingdom and a wide range of other locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The requirement is therefore relevant to consultancies that provide development consultancy services and can support National Highways with water-leak related work across its operational locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The response deadline was 24 August 2026 at 19:00. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to Arcadis on 26 August 2026 for £36,153.76 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active. The available information identifies the requirement and procurement route but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or a multi-lot structure.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award is useful evidence that National Highways buys development consultancy services for specific infrastructure-related problems such as water leaks. A credible future competitor would need relevant development consultancy capability, experience of responding to a focused operational requirement, and the ability to work through a framework call-off rather than only through an open competition. The selected supplier, Arcadis, is a large organisation, indicating that the buyer can appoint substantial consultancy capacity for this type of assignment. However, the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller or socially focused consultancies with the right technical service offer may also be relevant when comparable requirements return.
