Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for the Kelso Branch – Duddo Burn requirement, identified under railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. The procurement is categorised as works and concerns railway-related activity associated with the Kelso Branch and Duddo Burn. Delivery locations cover the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The requirement is relevant to businesses delivering railway infrastructure or associated railway vehicle and freight-wagon maintenance works, particularly those able to operate across the stated geographical coverage and work within National Highways’ contracting arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 21 August 2026. The contract runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £82,463. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information describes one requirement rather than separate lots. The award route indicates that competition was conducted among suppliers within the relevant framework.

For competing suppliers, this award demonstrates demand from National Highways for railway-related works connected with a branch and burn location, procured through a framework call-off. A credible future supplier would need relevant experience in railway maintenance or service vehicles, railway freight wagons, or closely related infrastructure works, together with the operational capacity to deliver works across the United Kingdom and potentially wider territories. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so specialist smaller businesses with the right technical capability may be well placed to participate through an appropriate framework. Businesses should also be able to compete through selective framework call-offs and demonstrate the resources, delivery management and railway-sector competence expected for a defined works package.
