Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured railway-related works associated with the HRE KLM/61 requirement covering Elderslie, Greenock Princes Pier and Lynedoch Street. The scope is classified as railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons (CPV 34621000), indicating work connected with railway maintenance equipment and freight-wagon operations. The procurement category is works rather than a standalone supply or consultancy service. Delivery coverage is stated across the United Kingdom and a range of wider locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement therefore suits contractors working on railway maintenance-related works and associated vehicle or wagon activities for a national infrastructure buyer.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd was selected by National Highways Limited on 9 September 2026. The awarded value is £12,730. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was evaluated and progressed within the framework call-off route rather than through an open standalone competition. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The award is active, and the tender itself is marked complete. This is a single recorded requirement, with no separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers identified.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need practical capability in railway maintenance-related works, particularly activities involving rail service vehicles or railway freight wagons. Experience of delivering safely for a national infrastructure organisation would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to work across the stated United Kingdom and wider delivery coverage. The award shows that this buyer uses a framework call-off route for a relatively focused requirement, so suppliers seeking comparable work would benefit from access to a suitable framework and the capacity to respond to its call-off procedures. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for SMEs, meaning a smaller specialist contractor could be well placed where it can demonstrate the necessary technical competence, operational capacity and railway-sector experience.
