Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned content management and development consultancy services for its Asset Data Improvement Plan. The work covers creating asset data Use Cases: reviewing and updating existing documents that describe asset data requirements, engaging with stakeholders, and aligning the documents with National Highways’ new data governance arrangements and format in its Information Management System. Use Cases are intended to define data requirements, specify the business need they support, establish ownership and help assess whether asset data is fit for purpose. The assignment supports the company’s wider road investment delivery programme and reports progress against the Asset Data Improvement Plan. Delivery was intended across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. National Highways used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was £100,000 excluding any stated tax. Bids were due by 17 June 2026 at 7pm. The contract was awarded to Amey OW Ltd on 5 August 2026 for £25,840.83. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 5 January 2027. The award is active. The requirement was classified as development consultancy services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There was one requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement, covering the content management and governance work needed to produce and maintain asset data Use Cases for National Highways.

For suppliers assessing future National Highways data improvement work, this award demonstrates demand for consultancy teams that can turn operational asset information needs into clear, controlled and usable documentation. Relevant capability includes business analysis, requirements definition, stakeholder facilitation, information and data governance, document review, content management and alignment of material with an organisational information management system. Credible providers would need to understand how data requirements support infrastructure asset management and how ownership, governance and fitness-for-purpose measures are established. Experience of working with a major highways or infrastructure asset owner would be useful, alongside the ability to coordinate stakeholders and report progress against a structured improvement programme. The procurement route also shows the importance of access to an appropriate framework agreement and the capacity to deliver a focused consultancy assignment.

Notice Information

Notice Title

S30121 ADMM - Content Management

Notice Description

National Highways have developed an Asset Data Improvement Plan (ADIP) - a Road Investment Strategy period 3 (RIS3) company delivery commitment - which will support data improvements throughout RIS3 with benefits realised progressively as milestones are achieved. A key early milestone in the ADIP is the development of Use Cases for our asset data. Use Cases are clearly documented data requirements and specifications to fulfil a specific business need. They allow not just the collation of our asset data requirements but also enable a measurement of whether our data is 'fit for purpose'. includes the governance the company should use in managing its asset data. This includes the requirement to create Use Cases to document defined data requirements with clear ownership of each Use Case in place. This task is to provide asset data Use Cases by both reviewing and updating existing documents that articulate our asset data requirement with stakeholders, and to align this to the new data governance and format as defined in the IMS. This work is a key enabler of the company's Asset Data Improvement Plan (ADIP) and is included in the planned programme of activities. This task will report progress to ADIP.
