Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited has completed a procurement process titled "S30111 Maintenance Technical Support" under the industry category of Development Consultancy Services (CPV 73220000). This process is at the award stage, with the contract period spanning from 19th May 2026 to 31st December 2026. The procurement method utilised was a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender aimed at maintaining technical support in line with National Highways' standards, covering regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The award, valued at £272,305, was granted to OVE Arup, a large-scale supplier.

The contract aligns with small and medium-sized enterprises, although not oriented toward voluntary or community sector enterprises. Engaging in this procurement process could lead to significant business growth through strategic partnerships and by fulfilling National Highways’ rigorous standards and service delivery requirements. Businesses with capabilities in technical support and consultancy, who can provide value-driven solutions in compliance with statutory and commercial standards, are well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities.
