Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned railway works under the project titled “HRE - ARB/10 - Alcester to Bearley - Great Alne (Ford Railway)”. The procurement is classified as works and concerns railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, though the published description does not explain the specific work or goods involved. The named route and Great Alne (Ford Railway) identify the project location; the item’s delivery locations also include the United Kingdom and a range of overseas areas. National Highways Limited is the buyer. The requirement is therefore most relevant to businesses providing railway-related works, but the precise scope should be checked against the underlying contract information before treating it as a match.

The process is complete and the contract was awarded to Amco. The award date was 23 October 2026, and the awarded value is £29,766.69. The contract period runs from 23 October to 18 December 2026. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure to place a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was classified as works, and the stated suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises could participate. The recorded tender deadline was 23 October 2026. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information, so the outcome cannot be linked to separate lots or a stated quality-and-price basis.

This award shows that National Highways Limited has bought railway-related works through a framework call-off, with Amco selected for the Great Alne (Ford Railway) project. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so firms of that scale may have been credible participants, provided they could meet the framework’s conditions. Relevant suppliers would need to demonstrate capability in railway maintenance or service-vehicle and freight-wagon related work, but the project description does not specify the tasks, technical standards, qualifications or delivery capacity required. Businesses tracking comparable work from this buyer can use the award as evidence of a modest, short-duration requirement and of the route used to place it. Review the framework and project specifications to establish the precise expertise needed for similar requirements.
