Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Newham is the contracting authority for the "Highways Works Contract 2026," which encompasses construction, foundation, and surface works for highways and roads within the postal code area E16 2QU, located in London, England. This framework contract, which has completed the award stage as of 4th February 2026, involves both reactive maintenance as well as planned scheme implementation and maintenance activities. The procurement method used was a "selective" restricted procedure above the threshold, and the award stage successfully concluded with the appointment of Marlborough Highways and Kenson Highways Ltd as suppliers. The contract, valued at £150,000,000, runs from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2030, with an option to extend for an additional 48 months.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the infrastructure and construction sectors, particularly those specialising in highway maintenance, street lighting improvements, and soft landscaping. While the procurement method favours larger companies, collaboration with awarded firms like Marlborough Highways and Kenson Highways can offer subcontracting opportunities for smaller enterprises. Companies that can provide innovative, efficient, and cost-effective solutions within the statutory and strategic framework outlined by the Highways Works Contract 2026 stand to gain a competitive advantage in securing future projects under similar procurement processes. The presence of established suppliers suggests a well-structured approach to meet the extensive requirements of highway construction and maintenance in the region.
