Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured a whistleblowing reporting service, classified as an IT software package and delivered as a service. The requirement covers a secure reporting portal, a multilingual helpline and a case management system. It enables employees, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to raise concerns safely, confidentially and anonymously where required. The service supports independent reporting, investigation tracking and effective case resolution. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. This is a technology-enabled compliance and case-management requirement for an organisation operating across multiple territories and serving a broad stakeholder base.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 September 2026 to INTEC For Business Ltd. The award value is £39,225. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender had a submission deadline of 16 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for providing the full whistleblowing reporting service to National Highways Limited across the stated delivery locations.

This procurement demonstrates demand for an integrated whistleblowing platform supporting secure and confidential reporting, multilingual access and structured case handling. Suppliers competing for comparable work should be able to provide a dependable reporting portal, an accessible helpline covering multiple languages and case-management tools that support investigation workflows, auditability and resolution. Credibility will also depend on protecting anonymity where required, handling sensitive information securely and supporting independent reporting for employees, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. Experience serving organisations with geographically dispersed users would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to deliver consistently across the UK, nearby jurisdictions, Europe and international locations through a framework call-off route.
