Summary of the contracting process

National Highways has awarded a contract for the provision of a Creative Library Database, specifically involving storage media loading software development services. This contract falls under the goods category, with an industry classification aligned to CPV 72212750. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, was completed with a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £33,000 GBP, covers delivery across multiple regions including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, and spans from 24th June 2025 to 23rd June 2026. The award was published on 24th June 2025, following its activation on 23rd June 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses in the software development and creative industries, especially those with expertise in library database solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or those classified as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) may not find this opportunity suitable given its selective procurement method and call-off from a framework, which typically favours larger, more established companies. Companies seeking to expand their services in the provision of software solutions or aiming to collaborate with public sector organisations can find growth avenues through such contracts.
