Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the northbound A1 pavement between Little Ponton and Barrowby. The requirement is classified as surface work for highways and falls within the works category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, specifically on the A1 section identified in the title. The procurement concerns physical road-surface activity rather than consultancy, routine office services or the supply of standalone materials. It is relevant to highway contractors, road surfacing specialists and civil engineering businesses able to undertake pavement works on a strategic trunk road. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, the company responsible for the requirement and the resulting contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 23 July 2026 to Tarmac Trading Limited for £1,629,174.13. The awarded contract period runs from 24 July 2026 to 16 October 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £1,629,174.13. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information gives no separate scoring breakdown or named quality and price weighting.

This award is useful market evidence for businesses delivering highway pavement and surfacing works for National Highways. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in road-surface construction, the plant, materials, site management and workforce capacity to complete works on a strategic A-road. Experience of working safely in live or operational highway environments, managing traffic and complying with trunk-road delivery controls would strengthen a supplier’s position, although these requirements are not expressly detailed here. The route to market matters: the buyer used a framework call-off, so relevant businesses would need access to the appropriate framework route as well as the technical capacity to respond to individual requirements. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller capable highway contractors may be able to participate through the framework.
