Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway works under the PDF Framework for the A14 J33 to J34 NRTS Ducted Network. The requirement is classified as surface work for highways and concerns works rather than goods or services. The named network location is the A14 between junctions 33 and 34. Delivery coverage is stated across the United Kingdom and also includes the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement was made by National Highways Limited, the public body responsible for the requirement. It is a specialist infrastructure opportunity for contractors able to undertake highway surface works associated with a ducted network.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 29 April 2026 at 12:00. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to Tripod Crest Limited on 28 June 2026. The awarded value is £70,911.95 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 28 June 2026 to 30 October 2026. The published evaluation information identifies the highway works requirement and the framework call-off route; the award records one active supplier. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting comparable National Highways requirements. Relevant businesses are highway contractors with practical capability in surface works and infrastructure delivery around major-road networks, particularly work connected with ducted network installations. Experience of operating within a framework call-off route would be important, as this buyer uses that route to place the requirement. The recorded SME suitability indicates that smaller contractors can be credible participants, provided they can demonstrate the technical competence, site management, workforce and operational capacity needed for highway works. Competitors should also be prepared to deliver for a national infrastructure buyer across the stated geographic coverage and to work to defined network requirements rather than offering general construction services.
