Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited, situated in Birmingham, England, has concluded the tender process for the procurement titled "S30102 Third Party NSIPs Technical Partner," classified under the industry category of Development Consultancy Services (CPV code 73220000). The procurement involves strategic and technical support for third-party schemes impacting the organisation's assets and customers. This process has reached the award stage, with Arup Aecom selected as the supplier. The award, valued at approximately GBP 2,120,393.60, was published on 23 June 2026, and the contract period extends from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, covering locations worldwide including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and other regions.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in strategic and technical consultancy services, especially those capable of working on varied and potentially unpredictable projects. The requirement for flexibility and technical expertise caters to businesses with a strong background in handling large-scale infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant experience in programme management, policy, and guidance development might find this opportunity particularly appealing. Engaging in this tender could empower such businesses to expand their portfolio by participating in projects like the Heathrow Expansion and the Northern Powerhouse Rail, while concurrently enhancing their market presence and capability development.

Notice Information

Notice Title

S30102 Third Party NSIPs Technical Partner

Notice Description

Provision of the necessary strategic, technical and programme support in relation to third-party schemes with significant impact on NH's customers and assets. There remains a degree of uncertainly around many of the third-party projects until the end of RIS3, including those which are currently paused by the developer and the future pipeline of projects that may be managed by the Client. Additionally, while we continue to collaborate closely with developers to understand any new requirements or likely changes, the scope of work required is dependent on the timelines set by third parties. Therefore, the support provided by the Consultant needs to be sufficiently flexible to strike a balance between being responsive and remaining efficient, including continued Client access to a wide range of technical knowledge and expertise in order to meet changing priorities. At the time of writing, the projects currently being managed by the Client, and are, therefore, likely to require support from the Consultant, are as below: - Heathrow Expansion - East West Rail - Northern Powerhouse Rail - Grand Union Canal - New Towns - Policy and guidance development (Engagement and Capability Plan) - Team and group-wide programme management and capability development activities More detail on the current position and milestones across each project, which may require support from the Consultant, are set out below. This high level Team programme is refreshed monthly in line with changing scope and priorities from third party developers.
