Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the A3 Hindhead Tunnel under the project titled “PDF Framework - A3 Hindhead Tunnel RMS”. The requirement is classified as surface work for highways and falls within the works category. Delivery is associated with the A3 Hindhead Tunnel, with the procurement record also identifying the United Kingdom among the delivery locations. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based at Stirling House in Annesley, England. The selected supplier is Holcim UK Limited. This is a road infrastructure requirement rather than a general construction or consulting opportunity, so it is most relevant to contractors that deliver highway surfacing or closely related road works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 20 May 2026. Holcim UK Limited received the contract at a value of £1,022,718. The contract period runs from 21 May 2026 to 18 September 2026. The awarded contract is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is a single highway works requirement, with no separate lot awards reported.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of National Highways’ demand for specialist highway surface works at the A3 Hindhead Tunnel. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in delivering road surfacing works in a live strategic-road environment, together with the workforce, plant, materials supply and operational controls needed for a concentrated infrastructure project. Experience of working through framework call-offs would be commercially relevant, because this requirement was procured by that route. The buyer’s assessment that the work is suitable for SMEs also indicates that a suitably capable smaller contractor could be positioned for comparable requirements, either independently or through a delivery partnership.
