Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the A1 between West Cawledge and Denwick. The requirement is classified as surface work for highways and falls within the works category. It concerns physical road-surfacing activity on this named A1 route, rather than the supply of standalone materials or professional services. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited. The procurement identifies the United Kingdom as a delivery country and names the A1 West Cawledge to Denwick corridor as the project location. The arrangement is presented as a framework requirement, so the relevant market is contractors able to undertake highway surfacing and associated road works for a strategic-road network operator.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Tenders closed on 2 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited on 2 April 2026 for £1,019,974.44. The contract period ran from 3 April 2026 to 26 June 2026. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £1,019,974.44. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the contract relates to the full highway surface-works requirement for the A1 West Cawledge to Denwick route.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need demonstrable capability in highway surface works and the operational capacity to deliver works on a strategic A1 route. The award shows that National Highways uses a framework call-off route for this kind of requirement, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand and participate in the relevant framework market rather than rely only on open tender notices. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist highway contractors may be commercially relevant where they can meet the framework’s conditions and deliver the required works. Evidence of dependable road-works delivery, suitable plant, qualified staff and traffic-management capability would support credibility.
