Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured services relating to M25 highway standards, described as the Affinitext IT software package. The requirement sits within the information technology software and services market and concerns the provision of software rather than construction or physical highway works. Delivery locations are associated with National Highways sites in Guildford and Birmingham, with the procurement also covering the United Kingdom and wider stated territories and regions. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, with National Highways also identified as a buyer organisation. The contracted service is therefore relevant to software providers able to support highway-standards information and related digital requirements for a national roads organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 5pm. The tender value was £26,639.36. AFFINITEXT (UK) LIMITED received two active awards: one awarded on 8 May 2024 for £26,250, covering 29 June 2024 to 28 June 2027; and a second awarded on 28 July 2026 for £26,639.36, covering 29 July 2026 to 28 June 2027. The procurement category is services. The data identifies the awards and supplier but does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting. The opportunity is not available for bidding because the supplier has already been selected.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of specialist information-management or document-management software used in highway standards and related technical environments. A credible competitor would need a product and service capable of supporting controlled access to standards content for a major roads organisation, together with the implementation, maintenance and user support expected in a framework call-off. The requirement was awarded to AFFINITEXT (UK) LIMITED, identified as a large organisation, while the procurement records it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers positioned for comparable work should therefore be able to operate at larger organisational scale, understand infrastructure or highways information requirements, and compete through the relevant framework route rather than relying on an open tender.
