Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works under the requirement titled “HRE - BGN/5 - Bridgeton Central - High Street - Bridgeton Cross Tunnel”. The named work locations are Bridgeton Central, High Street and Bridgeton Cross Tunnel, with delivery within the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as works and is classified under CPV 34621000, covering railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. The requirement therefore concerns infrastructure works associated with the named tunnel and surrounding route, alongside the railway-related vehicles or freight wagons identified by the classification. It was bought by National Highways Limited, whose address is in Birmingham. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while not being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026, and the award was made to Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd on 11 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £37,605 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. The award is active. The procurement record identifies SME suitability as part of the opportunity. No separate lots are identified, and the published information does not set out an award scoring model or detailed evaluation criteria.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award provides a clear example of National Highways Limited buying a focused, short-duration package of works for a named tunnel and route location through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for comparable requirements would need to operate within the relevant framework route, deliver infrastructure works in a railway or transport setting, and demonstrate the practical capacity to complete a defined tunnel-related package. Experience with railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons is relevant to the classification used for this requirement. The buyer’s identification of the opportunity as suitable for SMEs also indicates that smaller established contractors may be commercially positioned for similar packages.
