Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned works for the Moretonhampstead Branch at Lustleigh Viaduct. The procurement concerns railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, alongside works associated with the named railway infrastructure. The main category is works, so the requirement is relevant to contractors and specialist suppliers supporting railway asset maintenance, access, logistics or freight operations. Delivery locations are described across the United Kingdom and wider territories and international locations, including the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and British Overseas Territories. The named site is Lustleigh Viaduct on the Moretonhampstead Branch. National Highways Limited is the buyer, based in Birmingham, England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Amco Giffen was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026 for £31,115.45 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 28 February 2027. The tender period ended on 21 July 2026. The award is active, and the awarded value and contract period apply to the single recorded award. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the Lustleigh Viaduct requirement on the Moretonhampstead Branch.

This award is useful market evidence for rail infrastructure contractors, railway plant and vehicle suppliers, and firms able to support maintenance activity at viaducts and on branch lines. A credible competitor would need a practical understanding of railway environments, safe delivery around operational or sensitive infrastructure, and the equipment, vehicles and workforce needed for maintenance and associated works. Experience relevant to railway service vehicles, freight wagons, access arrangements, logistics and asset protection would strengthen a future response. Smaller businesses are within the stated suitability profile, so an SME with specialist rail capability could be well placed, either as a principal contractor or as part of a delivery team. Suppliers should understand National Highways' framework call-off route and its requirements for controlled, evidence-based delivery.
