Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway works under the title “A27 Falmer Footbridge Headroom”. The requirement is classified as surface work for highways and is associated with the A27 Falmer Footbridge. The procurement is categorised as works rather than goods or services. Delivery coverage is expressed across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, although the requirement itself identifies the A27 Falmer location. The buyer is National Highways Limited, a strategic roads organisation. This is therefore relevant to civil engineering, highway maintenance and road-surface contractors able to undertake works connected with a strategic-road footbridge and its required headroom.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective route as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 29 April 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 29 April 2026. Hailsham Roadways Construction Co Ltd was awarded the contract for £194,802.51 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 30 April 2026 to 3 August 2026. The tender was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while suitability for voluntary, community and social enterprises was marked false. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier; no separate lots or alternative awards are identified.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award provides a clear example of National Highways buying highway surface works linked to a specific strategic-road asset, using a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. A credible future competitor would need practical highway construction and maintenance capability, including the plant, skilled workforce and site-management arrangements needed to deliver works around an operational road and footbridge. Experience of working safely within National Highways or comparable highways environments would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would evidence of reliable delivery, traffic and site controls, quality assurance and the capacity to complete a defined package of works within a short delivery window. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs.
