Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for the Red Barn overbridge project on the route from Buildwas to Marsh Farm near Craven Arms. The procurement title identifies the bridge and route but does not describe the construction or repair tasks in further detail. National Highways is based in Birmingham; the project location is indicated by the route and place names in the title. The work is categorised as construction works. The CPV classification supplied points to railway maintenance or service vehicles and freight wagons, which does not clearly match the overbridge works described by the title, so the project title is the clearest guide to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Dyer & Butler. National Highways used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 22 October 2026, for £18,381.86. The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 3 February 2027. The original tender deadline was 22 October 2026. The procurement was presented as a single requirement, with no lot-level breakdown. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable. No award evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements are stated in the data. The selected supplier is recorded as Dyer & Butler; no separate contract signing date or completion outcome is included.

For firms that did not win, this award provides a concrete example of National Highways buying bridge-related works on the Buildwas to Marsh Farm route near Craven Arms through a framework call-off. A future credible supplier would need to demonstrate relevant capability for overbridge works and the ability to deliver a defined, small-scale project within a short contract period. SMEs were expressly considered suitable, so smaller contractors should not assume this type of requirement is beyond their scale. Dyer & Butler, recorded as a large supplier, was selected for this contract, but the data does not identify specific accreditations, technical methods, staffing levels or experience that determined the outcome. The requirement is a useful reference point for businesses whose work directly covers bridge construction, repair or associated infrastructure works for National Highways.
