Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surfacing works for the M6 between junctions 20A and 21. The requirement falls within surface work for highways (CPV 45233210) and is categorised as works. It is intended for delivery on the M6 corridor in the United Kingdom. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named buying organisation is National Highways Limited, the company responsible for the strategic road network in England. The requirement concerns physical road-surface works rather than consultancy, routine office services or the supply of standalone materials. Businesses operating in motorway maintenance, highway construction, asphalt surfacing, road rehabilitation or associated civil engineering would find the subject matter relevant.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 2 April 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 2 April 2026. Tarmac Trading Limited was selected for the contract at £1,624,868.91, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The contract ran from 3 April 2026 to 14 July 2026. The recorded procurement value and awarded value are the same. The award is active. The published process records a single requirement covering the M6 J20A to J21 surfacing works, rather than separate awards or separately valued lots.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from National Highways for substantial motorway surfacing delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need established highway construction and surfacing capability, with the plant, labour, materials management and operational controls needed to work safely on a strategic motorway corridor. Experience of road-surface renewal and coordinating works around live or constrained transport infrastructure would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist contractors may be relevant where they can demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity, quality control and the ability to meet National Highways’ framework and project requirements.
