Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned independent assurance of External Aspect Verification (EAV) camera evidence. The service concerns checking and assuring evidence produced by cameras used for external aspect verification. Delivery is listed across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to PA Consulting Services Limited. National Highways used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 20 September 2026, valued at £79,709. The contract period runs from 21 September to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 September 2026 at noon. The procurement is for services and was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering comparable work for National Highways, this award demonstrates demand for independent assurance of External Aspect Verification camera evidence. A credible competitor would need to show that it can assess this evidence independently and provide assurance relevant to camera calibration and verification. The requirement is specialist assurance work rather than a general software development service. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that a supplier with the expertise and organisational capability to deliver assurance across the stated range of locations would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
