Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the A3 northbound and southbound carriageways at the Thursley-Hindhead Tunnel. The requirement is categorised as road-surface work and falls within the works sector. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and the A3 tunnel route, serving both directions of travel. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. This is a focused highway infrastructure requirement rather than a general construction or consultancy commission, and is relevant to contractors that resurface, repair or otherwise undertake surface works on major roads and tunnel approaches. The procurement is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, widening its relevance beyond only the largest national infrastructure contractors.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to Holcim UK Limited on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £1,680,474.70 including the published GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 20 November 2026. The tender and award concern the same highway surface works requirement for both the northbound and southbound sides of the A3 at Thursley-Hindhead Tunnel. The award is active, and the procurement is categorised as works. The recorded route to market means future suppliers would need to understand framework call-off arrangements rather than treating this as an open standalone tender.

For competitors, this award is evidence that National Highways uses framework call-offs for substantial, time-bounded highway surface works on a major road tunnel route. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in highway surfacing and associated road-surface works, with the operational capacity to work on both carriageway directions within a defined delivery window. Experience of working on strategically important roads and tunnel approaches would help demonstrate suitability, alongside the resources needed to manage traffic-sensitive infrastructure work safely and reliably. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist small or medium-sized contractor may be well placed to compete, either independently if eligible for the relevant framework or through an appropriate framework position. Familiarity with National Highways requirements and framework call-off processes would also be commercially relevant.
