Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "ORT0190A - TTAS - Signs and Signals" initiated by National Highways has reached the Award stage. It involves the urgent procurement of variable message road signs with a contract value of £1,665,070.92. National Highways, located at 1 Walnut Tree Close, Guildford, England, acts as the buying organisation. The industry category for this tender is "Road signs," as classified under the CPV scheme (code 34992200), and the contract will cover multiple regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The tender was processed through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commences on 12th June 2025 and concludes on 31st December 2025. Notably, the award was made to Colas Ltd, a large-scale supplier located in Birmingham.

This tender offers expansive business growth potential for companies specialising in road safety and signage, particularly those capable of meeting strict operational requirements promptly across diverse geographical locations. While SMEs and VCSEs were not explicitly marked as suitable, larger established firms like Colas Ltd have successfully secured the contract. Businesses in the road infrastructure sector could greatly benefit by aligning capabilities to meet similar high-value public procurement needs, potentially using frameworks and selective agreements for streamlined participation in future tenders.
