Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned highway surface works under the M5 J25–26 CR VRS construction framework. The requirement is described as construction, with the classification identifying surface work for highways (CPV 45233210). The work relates to the M5 junctions 25–26; the procurement data does not identify a more specific delivery site. National Highways is the buying organisation. This is a works requirement for contractors able to deliver highway surfacing and associated construction work in a motorway setting. The stated delivery locations span the United Kingdom and other broad territories, but the project title identifies the relevant route as the M5. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, while voluntary, community and social enterprises are not identified as suitable.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Heidelberg through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. National Highways awarded the contract on 1 October 2026. The awarded value is £195,231.15. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 9 July 2027. The submission deadline was 1 October 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots recorded. The evaluation basis and detailed participation or technical eligibility requirements are not set out in the available process information. This was a framework call-off rather than a new open competition, and the selected supplier is identified as Heidelberg.

For suppliers seeking comparable National Highways work, this award shows demand for highway surface construction on the M5 and use of a framework call-off route. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity and relevant delivery experience to undertake surfacing and construction work on a strategic motorway route, including the ability to meet the buyer’s project requirements within a defined contract period. The procurement is marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller contractors may be relevant competitors where they can deliver the required scale and capability, either directly or as part of a delivery team. The award provides a concrete example of the kind of highway construction requirement National Highways buys through its framework arrangements; the selected supplier was Heidelberg.
