Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned highway surfacing works for the M56 Alders Road Sharston Link to M60. The requirement falls within road-surface construction and maintenance, covering works associated with the highway link rather than the supply of standalone materials. Delivery was identified across the United Kingdom and a range of wider locations, including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, the company responsible for England’s strategic road network. The procurement was categorised as works and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named requirement indicates a focus on highway surface work for a major strategic-road connection.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 March 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at noon. National Highways awarded the contract to Tarmac Trading Limited for £2,132,736.22 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2026. The award is active. Evaluation details recorded for the procurement do not set out a separate quality or price weighting. There was one award and one supplier, with the requirement treated as a single highway-works package rather than divided into lots.

This award is commercially relevant to civil engineering and highways contractors able to deliver road-surface works for National Highways and operate through a framework call-off route. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in highway surfacing, the plant, labour and supply-chain capacity to execute a substantial strategic-road package, and experience working safely and reliably on major-road infrastructure. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist contractors may be well placed where they can demonstrate the necessary technical delivery capacity, project controls and relevant highway experience. Firms that can provide consistent quality, manage traffic and site risks, and coordinate efficiently with a national roads client would be better positioned for comparable future requirements.
