Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured Phase 2 HADECS consultancy services. The requirement covers maintaining, developing and supporting existing HADECS workstreams, enhancing the HADECS operating model, and providing consultancy expertise for emerging or additional workstreams as required. This is a business and management consultancy assignment, involving advisory, operating-model and workstream support rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other international locations. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to consultancy firms with experience supporting complex organisational or operational programmes and advising public infrastructure bodies on the development and management of established workstreams.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. National Highways awarded the contract to PA Consulting Services Limited (UK) on 9 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,385,000. The contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 11 October 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published information identifies the selected supplier but does not set out the individual scoring criteria. The contract covers one overall consultancy requirement rather than separately awarded lots. The procurement falls within services and concerns business and management consultancy. It is therefore an outcome notice for a completed purchasing process, showing the route used by National Highways to appoint consultancy support for HADECS.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for specialist consultancy support spanning live workstream maintenance, service or operating-model development, and the flexible mobilisation of expertise for new requirements. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can work within a complex public infrastructure environment, support established programmes without disrupting delivery, and bring suitably experienced consultants to address both strategic and emerging operational needs. Relevant strengths include business and management consultancy, operating-model design, programme or workstream support, stakeholder management and the ability to scale expertise across geographically distributed activity. Firms targeting similar work should also understand framework call-off procurement and be able to present a coherent, delivery-focused team for a substantial, multi-workstream assignment. The buyer’s indication that SMEs are suitable creates scope for specialist firms, including those forming capable delivery partnerships.
