Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works to the abutments of Millhalf Bridge on the Hereford, Hay and Brecon Line. The requirement is a railway infrastructure construction or maintenance project, classified under CPV 34621000, covering railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. The named delivery location is the Hereford, Hay and Brecon Line, with the tender record also identifying the United Kingdom among its delivery areas. The work is categorised as works rather than goods or services. It is relevant to civil engineering contractors, bridge specialists and rail infrastructure businesses able to undertake structural abutment works in a railway setting. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were excluded from the stated suitability category.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Dyer & Butler on 21 July 2026 for £39,654.96 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026. The award is active and the overall tender status is complete. The available evaluation information identifies the procurement as a framework call-off but does not set out separate award criteria. There was one recorded award and one supplier; its value is therefore reported as the value of that individual award, not as a combined total across multiple lots or suppliers.

For businesses that did not win this award, the procurement indicates demand from National Highways for focused railway bridge infrastructure works delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in bridge abutment construction, repair or associated civil engineering, together with experience of working on or near operational or disused railway infrastructure as applicable to the line. Contractors should be able to manage a defined, relatively small-scale structural works package, coordinate site activities and deliver safely within the buyer’s framework arrangements. The explicit SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist civil engineering and rail contractors may be commercially relevant, provided they can demonstrate the technical competence, resources and delivery record needed for railway bridge work.
