Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured specialist enforcement and technical services for its enforcement systems across the Strategic Road Network. The work covers testing, validation and integration of current and emerging technologies, supporting the systems used for road-network enforcement. It is an information technology service procurement, under CPV 72222300, and falls within the broader services category. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and may extend to the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing technical assurance, systems testing, technology integration and specialist support for enforcement or operational technology environments.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. National Highways used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 5pm. Ove Arup and Partners was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026 for £4 million. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 3 September 2031. The award is active and covers the full enforcement and technical support requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is Ove Arup and Partners, a large organisation. No lots or separate awards are identified.

This award shows sustained demand from National Highways for specialist suppliers able to support enforcement systems across a complex strategic road network. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in testing technology, validating system performance and integrating both established and emerging technologies. Experience of enforcement systems or comparable operational, safety-critical or network-wide technology environments would be commercially relevant, alongside the capacity to provide dependable technical support over a long-term service arrangement. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist firms may be well placed where they can demonstrate the necessary technical expertise, delivery capacity and ability to work within a framework call-off route.
