Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned works at Glen Luce Viaduct over the Water of Luce, on the Dumfries–Stranraer route. The procurement is classified as works, but the available description identifies the location and project reference rather than detailing the specific construction, repair or maintenance tasks. The associated classification is railway maintenance or service vehicles and freight wagons, although the procurement itself is described as works. This is a rail infrastructure requirement linked to the viaduct, rather than a clearly defined purchase of vehicles or wagons. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The item’s listed delivery locations include the United Kingdom and several broad international areas, but the project title points to the Water of Luce in Scotland.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Amco Giffen through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 16 October 2026 for £78,755.73. The contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £78,755.73. The procurement record does not state an evaluation criterion or describe how competing framework suppliers were assessed. No lots are identified. The tender was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the recorded contract period indicates the expected duration of the work.

For suppliers seeking comparable rail infrastructure work, this award demonstrates National Highways’ demand for a targeted works package at a Scottish viaduct, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to show it can undertake the specific viaduct works safely and effectively, with suitable rail infrastructure expertise, competent site teams and the capacity to deliver a focused project within a defined contract period. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, so the scale need not be limited to large contractors, though the selected supplier is a large business. The description does not establish the precise technical tasks, qualifications or accreditations required; suppliers should base any assessment of fit for similar work on the actual scope and requirements when those are available.
