Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured Service Management Maturity services to enhance, integrate and develop its core service management capabilities across information technology and operational technology. The appointed partner is expected to strengthen existing services, build a comprehensive end-to-end service management capability, improve services for customers and develop National Highways’ internal capability for a more advanced and sustainable service management offering. This is a technical computer support and service management requirement, classified under CPV 72611000. Delivery covers National Highways’ operations across the United Kingdom, Europe and other locations internationally, including the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and British Overseas Territories. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Capgemini UK Plc on 24 June 2026. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 12 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded value is £35,950,563.89, with the contract running from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031. The wider estimated procurement range was £35,950,563.89 to £47,197,785.17, in GBP. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published procurement information identifies service management maturity and technical computer support as the subject of the competition. Capgemini UK Plc is the sole named awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates demand for a substantial, integrated service management partner able to operate across both IT and operational technology in a critical national infrastructure environment. A credible competitor would need to improve existing service operations while designing and integrating end-to-end capabilities, support better customer-facing services and transfer knowledge into the buyer’s own teams. Relevant strengths include service management transformation, IT and OT integration, operational governance, service improvement, capability development and delivery at national and international scale. The requirement is suited to a large, established technology or managed services provider with the resources to sustain a complex partnership, coordinate multiple service areas and deliver a mature, durable operating model rather than a narrow technical support service.
