Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for the A31 Merley Lighting Asset Replacement project. The requirement concerns highway infrastructure works, specifically replacing lighting assets on the A31 at Merley. The procurement is categorised as works and is associated with the CPV description “surface work for highways”. Delivery is identified across the United Kingdom and a wide range of other locations, including the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in England. This requirement is therefore relevant to contractors delivering highway construction, highways maintenance or lighting asset replacement, particularly those able to work within National Highways’ operating environment and framework arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Holcim UK Limited received the award on 14 August 2026 for GBP 110,585.30. The awarded contract period runs from 15 August 2026 to 11 December 2026. The overall estimated procurement value was also GBP 110,585.30. The process was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route. This is a completed award rather than an opportunity for new bids on this contract. The outcome identifies the scale, route to market and delivery window for comparable highway lighting replacement work commissioned by National Highways.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates demand from National Highways for focused highway lighting asset replacement works delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need practical capability in highway works and lighting infrastructure, with the capacity to manage a defined replacement project for a major strategic roads organisation. Experience of working safely and compliantly on or near operational highways would strengthen its position, as would systems for planning site activity, coordinating resources, managing traffic and protecting road users. Suppliers should also be able to operate within framework procurement arrangements and provide evidence of reliable delivery, competent personnel, quality control and the ability to complete short, time-bound works programmes. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs.
