Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the project titled “A303 Andover Bypass Phase 3 – SDF”. The requirement falls within civil engineering and highway construction, specifically surface work for highways (CPV 45233210). It is classified as works rather than goods or services. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. The procurement identifies delivery across the United Kingdom, alongside wider geographic areas including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The project reference to the A303 Andover Bypass indicates the requirement is associated with that highway scheme, while the published scope describes the procurement as a framework-related highway surface works requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and is marked complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 24 April 2026 at 12:00. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to Heidelberg Materials on 24 April 2026. The awarded value is £919,090.15 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route. There are no separate lots identified, so the award and value relate to the procurement as a whole.

This award provides a clear indication of National Highways’ requirement for specialist highway surface works connected with major road schemes. A credible competitor for comparable work would need demonstrable capability in highway surfacing and the capacity to deliver civil engineering works for a national roads authority. Experience of working within a framework call-off environment would also be commercially important, since this procurement was placed through that route rather than as an open standalone tender. The selected supplier was a large business, but the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist contractors may be relevant where they can evidence the necessary operational capacity, technical competence, quality controls and ability to manage delivery at this scale.
