Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for HXH/4A, covering Halifax High Level and Wheatley Viaduct. The requirement is classified as railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, although the procurement is categorised as works. The named delivery locations include the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The practical focus indicated by the title is a rail-related requirement associated with the Halifax High Level–Wheatley Viaduct location. National Highways Limited is the buying organisation, based in Birmingham. The selected supplier, AMCO Rail Amalgamated Construction Ltd, is a large construction business based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to AMCO Rail Amalgamated Construction Ltd on 5 August 2026 for £66,548.39 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. The tender had a total stated value of £66,548.39. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the contract period begins on 6 August 2026. The evaluation basis and any lot structure are not part of the published procurement details. The award outcome identifies one selected supplier for the requirement.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful benchmark for businesses targeting National Highways Limited’s rail-related works. The route to market was a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand the relevant framework route and be capable of delivering through it. The selected business is a large construction company, indicating that established rail or infrastructure delivery capability is credible for this buyer. A competing supplier would benefit from demonstrable experience in railway maintenance or service-vehicle-related works, construction delivery around viaduct infrastructure, and the operational capacity to complete a focused requirement within a short contract window. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist firms may also be relevant where they can evidence the required technical competence and framework access.
