Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured railway-related works under the requirement titled “Langwith Junction to Beighton Junction – Elmton Common”. The stated classification covers railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, so the requirement is relevant to businesses supplying, operating, maintaining or supporting this type of rail equipment and associated works. The procurement category is works. The named route runs between Langwith Junction and Beighton Junction, with Elmton Common identified in the requirement title. The delivery coverage also includes the United Kingdom and other broad geographical areas, but the specific route named above is the clearest indication of the operational setting. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham, England.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to AMCO Rail Amalgamated Construction Ltd on 14 August 2026 for £35,780.61 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 21 August 2026. The procurement record identifies a single awarded supplier and a single requirement, rather than separate lots. The opportunity was classified as works and relates to railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. It was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award outcome provides a clear example of National Highways’ framework-based route for commissioning short-duration rail-related works.

For competitors, this award indicates demand from National Highways for specialist rail-related works connected with railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. A credible supplier would need practical capability in rail engineering or rail asset support, the operational capacity to deliver work on a defined route, and experience of working safely and effectively in a live railway environment where applicable. Familiarity with framework call-offs is commercially important, because the buyer used that route rather than a standalone open competition. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist rail contractors may be well placed to compete in future, either independently or through an appropriate framework position. Relevant evidence would include comparable rail delivery experience, competent personnel, equipment and reliable short-duration mobilisation.
