Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured resurfacing works on the northbound A1 between Wansford and Wothorpe. The requirement is highway surface work, focused on renewing the road surface along this specific stretch. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; the project title identifies the A1 Wansford–Wothorpe section. This is a road construction and maintenance requirement, rather than a general highways services contract. The procurement was described as a framework call-off, indicating that the work was commissioned through an existing framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hanson Contracting. The award was made on 30 August 2026. The awarded value is £3,710,855.29. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 2 February 2027. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was presented as one resurfacing package, with no separate lots recorded. The tender was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information records no evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described. The award is active, and no cancellation or termination is recorded.

This award confirms National Highways' demand for substantial, project-specific resurfacing on the strategic road network, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for similar work would need proven capacity to undertake highway surfacing at this scale, plan and deliver safely on a live motorway or major road, and complete the works within a tightly defined contract period. Relevant experience in road-surface renewal, traffic management and coordinating works on high-volume routes would support a strong case, alongside the workforce, plant and supply-chain capacity needed for a concentrated delivery programme. The buyer marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs, so smaller contractors may be relevant where they can demonstrate the required delivery capability, independently or through appropriate partnerships. The selected supplier was a large contractor.
