Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway works for the northbound and southbound expansion joints on the M6 Thelwall Viaduct. The requirement is described as an expansion-joint project; the work falls within highway surfacing and related road works (CPV 45233210). The named delivery site is Thelwall Viaduct on the M6. National Highways is the buyer. This is a specific infrastructure maintenance requirement on a major motorway structure, rather than a general road-resurfacing contract. The procurement was run as a framework call-off, so the work was placed under an existing framework rather than competed as a standalone open tender. The recorded suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises could undertake the work, although it was not designated as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Holcim UK Limited. The award was made on 15 September 2026, for £2,516,882.23. The contract period runs from 16 September to 27 November 2026. The estimated tender value is also recorded as £2,516,882.23. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The published information identifies no lots or detailed evaluation criteria, so the outcome should be understood as a framework call-off rather than a newly advertised, standalone competition. The selected supplier is a large company. The work covers both carriageways’ expansion joints at Thelwall Viaduct, and the recorded contract dates show a defined, short delivery period for this concentrated motorway infrastructure project.

For suppliers that missed this award, the contract demonstrates National Highways’ demand for specialist highway works to renew or install expansion joints on major structures, including work across both carriageways of a motorway viaduct. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this kind would need proven capability in expansion-joint systems and highway engineering, together with the people, plant and project controls to deliver safely on a live strategic road network. They should be able to plan a tightly managed site programme, coordinate work on northbound and southbound lanes, and meet the quality and safety requirements of motorway infrastructure. The buyer used a framework call-off for this purchase, making suitable framework access and the ability to compete within that route commercially relevant. The recorded SME suitability shows that smaller businesses may be capable of this type of work.
