Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the A590 between Meathop and Millside. The requirement is road surfacing, a civil engineering works category, rather than general construction or routine consultancy. The named road section defines the project location; the data also lists delivery across the United Kingdom and several other broad territories, but does not identify any further specific sites. This is a targeted roadworks requirement for a national highways buyer, relevant to contractors able to undertake highway surfacing and associated work on the A590 corridor. The procurement title identifies the work as part of a framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited on 2 September 2026. National Highways used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £1,399,183.09. The contract period runs from 3 September to 31 December 2026. The original tender deadline was 2 September 2026 at 12:00. The data identifies a single awarded supplier and does not divide the requirement into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published award information does not set out specific scoring or evaluation criteria, so the basis used to choose the supplier cannot be described beyond the framework call-off route.

For firms that did not win, this award is evidence that National Highways buys targeted highway surfacing work through framework call-offs. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver road surface works on a defined trunk-road section, with the operational capacity to mobilise, plan and complete highway works within a short contract period. The successful supplier, Tarmac Trading Limited, is identified as a large business, while the procurement was also considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller contractors may be relevant where they can meet the scope and delivery demands, alone or through an appropriate framework position. Experience in highway surfacing and delivery for a national roads buyer would be directly relevant to competing for this specific type of work.
