Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned works for the Bourton Road overbridge on the Buildwas to Marsh Farm (Craven Arms) route. The title identifies the bridge and route, but gives no further breakdown of the construction or repair work. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The works are associated with the Bourton Road overbridge; the item’s delivery locations are recorded broadly as the United Kingdom and other places, rather than identifying a specific site address. This is a civil engineering and bridge-work requirement, rather than a purchase of railway vehicles or freight wagons, despite the classification attached to the procurement. The requirement is categorised as works and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Dyer & Butler. The award was made on 23 October 2026, for £18,389.62. The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 3 February 2027. National Highways used a selective process, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s estimated value was also £18,389.62. The response deadline was 22 October 2026. The information identifies no lots or specific evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing framework suppliers were assessed cannot be described further. This outcome records a single supplier award for the Bourton Road overbridge works on the Buildwas to Marsh Farm route.

For contractors that did not receive this award, the procurement is a concrete example of National Highways buying targeted overbridge works through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need relevant civil engineering and bridge-work capability, and the ability to deliver a defined, site-specific package rather than a broad railway-vehicle supply. The buyer marked this opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that work of this scope can be accessible to businesses below large-contractor scale. Dyer & Butler, a large supplier, was selected, showing that an established contractor was considered capable of delivering the package. Firms seeking comparable National Highways work should be positioned to compete through the relevant framework and demonstrate delivery experience suited to overbridge works.
