Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works through the PDF Framework for Area 3, under the Strategic Development Fund rapid-response tranche. The work is classified as surface work for highways (CPV 45233210). The procurement data lists delivery across the United Kingdom, as well as the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and elsewhere in the world; it does not identify a more specific worksite. This is a works requirement for rapid-response highway surface activity, rather than a purchase of goods or a general advisory service. National Highways Limited is the buyer. The stated scope is framed around the framework area and tranche, so the relevant commercial fit is highway surfacing and related response works within the buyer’s Area 3 framework arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to FM Conway Ltd. National Highways used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 22 September 2026. The award value is £1,339,155.98. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender deadline was 22 September 2026 at 12:00. This was a single stated requirement, with no separate lots reported. The recorded suitability assessment says the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described beyond the use of the framework call-off route.

For firms assessing future National Highways demand, this award is evidence of a requirement for rapid-response highway surface works delivered through an existing framework, rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor would need established highway surfacing capability and the capacity to respond quickly to works within the relevant framework area. The selected supplier was recorded as a large company, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this points to a requirement shaped for a supplier able to undertake delivery at substantial operational scale. Businesses should assess whether they can meet the framework’s access and call-off arrangements and provide dependable response delivery. The recorded scope does not specify particular technical accreditations, staffing levels, equipment or experience thresholds, so no particular credential can be inferred.
