Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited has completed a procurement process titled "ORT0175 - Signs & Signals RIS3," with SWARCO UK & Ireland Ltd as the successful supplier. This contract, classified under the signage industry category (CPV code 34928470), involves the provision of signs and signals. The procurement followed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a planned and structured procurement strategy. The contract covers multiple locations, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World. The procurement process culminated in an award dated 24th December 2025, with the contract running from this date until 31st October 2031.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses capable of delivering large-scale signage solutions. While the award has been granted to a large supplier, the suitability criteria indicated a preference for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), suggesting future openings for SMEs to explore similar opportunities. Companies involved or interested in the international supply of signage systems across diverse geographical locations would be well-suited to compete for such tenders in the future, especially given the expansive scope and significant financial value associated with this contract, amounting to over £56 million.
