Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned highway works to repair the embankment on the northbound A34 at Abingdon, identified as EW14725. The requirement covers surface work for a highway and is categorised as works. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the project specifically associated with the A34 northbound route at Abingdon. The buyer is responsible for the strategic road network, so the work concerns infrastructure maintenance rather than routine building construction or general civil engineering. Businesses relevant to this requirement would typically operate in highway repair, road-surface construction and embankment maintenance, with the ability to work on or alongside a major trunk road. The arrangement is a framework-based project rather than a standalone open-market procurement.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 18 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to DSD Construction Ltd on 18 June 2026 for £634,649.65 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 19 June 2026 to 23 October 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is a large organisation. The process concerns one highway embankment-repair requirement; no separate lots or separate awarded suppliers are identified.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear benchmark for the type of contractor National Highways selected for a substantial A34 embankment-repair project. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in highway surface works and embankment repair, together with the operational capacity to deliver safely on a strategic trunk-road route. Experience of managing site logistics, traffic-sensitive working, construction quality and coordinated delivery would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the procurement does not identify particular accreditations or technical certificates. The framework call-off route is significant: businesses already admitted to relevant highways frameworks, or able to build the partnerships and compliance record needed for framework participation, are best placed to pursue comparable requirements from this buyer.
