The framework will cover planned works and emergency or reactive call-outs, with delivery organised around regional project locations and teams.

The buyer invited offers at the tender stage through a selective procedure, using a call-off from a framework agreement. Expressions of interest had to be submitted by 21 July 2026 at 23:45. The framework contract period is 14 August 2026 to 11 June 2028. Its estimated value is £1,000,000, with a minimum estimated value of £500,000, both in GBP. The arrangement is divided into regional lots across England, and suppliers can tender for one or more regions.

This opportunity suits specialist traffic management contractors, temporary access solution providers and experienced infrastructure subcontractors, including small and medium-sized enterprises. Strong candidates will be able to design and deliver compliant traffic management arrangements across varied civil engineering, construction, rail and maintenance environments. They will need suitably qualified operatives and supervisors, access to the equipment required for signs, cones, barriers and temporary signals, and the resources to install, maintain and remove systems safely. Regional depot coverage, a dependable workforce and the ability to mobilise quickly for emergency or reactive call-outs are important. Relevant experience with local-authority and highway-network requirements, traffic management plans and permitting will support competitiveness across one or more regional areas.
