Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned highway surface works under the PDF Framework for the M56 Bowdon to Ashley SDF. The requirement falls within public highway construction and maintenance, specifically surface work for highways (CPV 45233210). The work is categorised as works and concerns the M56 Bowdon to Ashley route. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to contractors providing highway surfacing, carriageway treatment and associated road works, particularly businesses already operating across National Highways’ geographical coverage or able to deliver work through its framework arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 July 2026 to Tarmac Trading Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £2,720,521.31 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 11 July 2026 to 13 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12 noon. National Highways Limited is the buyer. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. One award is recorded, with Tarmac Trading Limited as the selected supplier. The contract covers the M56 Bowdon to Ashley SDF highway surface works.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that National Highways buys substantial, defined packages of highway surface work through framework call-offs. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in highway surfacing and carriageway works, together with the capacity to deliver a sizeable package on a strategic motorway route. The route to market is important: businesses seeking comparable work would need to understand and participate in the relevant framework arrangements rather than rely only on open tendering. The buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist highway contractors may be well placed where they can demonstrate adequate delivery resources, quality controls and experience of comparable road-surface work.
