Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works involving railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, under the requirement titled “HRE - KLM/63RWS - Elderslie - Greenock Princes Pier”. The procurement concerns the supply, maintenance or servicing of rail-related vehicles and freight wagons, although the published description does not provide a more detailed technical scope. Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The opportunity is categorised as works and is relevant to businesses that provide railway vehicle services, railway maintenance capability or associated freight-wagon support.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd was awarded the contract on 10 September 2026 for £247,275. The contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender was classified under CPV 34621000 for railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. The award information identifies one successful supplier and one contract value. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published outcome does not set out separate lots or detailed price, quality or technical evaluation weightings.

For a supplier that did not win this call-off, the procurement shows that National Highways uses a framework route to obtain railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons for a defined infrastructure requirement. A credible future competitor would need to be eligible to participate through the relevant framework, provide or support rail vehicles and freight wagons, and demonstrate the operational capacity to deliver works across the United Kingdom and potentially wider locations. Relevant experience in railway maintenance, vehicle servicing, freight-wagon support, mobilisation and safe delivery would strengthen a competing proposition. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, so specialist smaller firms may be well placed, either directly where framework rules permit or as delivery partners to larger rail and infrastructure contractors.
