Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the PDF Framework - A303 Andover Bypass Phase 3 - SDF has been completed, with National Highways Limited acting as the buying organisation. This process pertained to the 'works' industry category, specifically focused on surface work for highways. The project is centred in the United Kingdom, with the selective procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates for this contract included the tender period ending on 24th April 2026, and the contract period starting from 25th April 2026 to 30th September 2026. The awarded supplier, Heidelberg Materials, was announced on 17th July 2026, with a total contract value of £919,090.15.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in road construction and related infrastructure works, particularly those that can leverage existing framework agreements. While the contract was awarded to Heidelberg Materials, the structure and scale of this procurement favour companies that possess a large operational capacity, with National Highways Limited demonstrating a preference for working with established suppliers. Although the primary business category highlights surface work for highways, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in infrastructure projects should consider positioning themselves for future opportunities of a similar nature.
