Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for the Portskewett Pier branch in Portskewett. The requirement is classified as railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons (CPV 34621000), with the main category being works. The procurement concerns the Portskewett Pier branch and is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The scope description is limited to the branch and procurement title, so businesses should assess their fit against railway-related works involving maintenance or service vehicles and freight wagons, rather than general civil engineering or unrelated transport services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of that scale were considered capable of delivering the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 12 August 2026. The contract was awarded to Dyer & Butler on 11 August 2026 for £75,699.56, with a contract period from 12 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The awarded supplier is Dyer & Butler. The procurement value and awarded value are both £75,699.56. The process was for works relating to the Portskewett Pier branch, with the railway maintenance and service vehicle classification providing the stated subject of the requirement. The award outcome should be treated as evidence of a completed framework call-off rather than an available contract.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award shows that National Highways Limited uses framework call-offs to procure defined railway-related works at the Portskewett Pier branch. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver works involving railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, together with the operational capacity to work on a named rail branch. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, so participation is not limited by the buyer’s assessment to large organisations. Businesses should also be able to operate through the relevant framework route, understand the requirements of selective call-offs, and present clear evidence that their railway works capability matches the buyer’s stated classification and site-specific need.
