Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned development consultancy services for the delivery of new lorry parking. The requirement supports roadside facilities for freight operators, reflecting the importance of lorry parking to reliable road freight operations and resilience on strategic routes. The work concerns the planning and development of additional lorry parking rather than the construction or operation of a specified facility. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and may also cover the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is categorised as services, with the stated classification covering development consultancy services. This is relevant to consultancies advising on transport infrastructure, freight facilities, roadside services and strategic network planning.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to WSP UK LTD on 15 July 2026 for £80,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 19:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the procurement status is complete. The published outcome records one supplier and one award, with the evaluation route governed by the relevant framework call-off process.

This award provides a clear indication of National Highways’ demand for specialist advice on developing lorry parking to support freight movement and strategic-road resilience. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible capability in development consultancy for transport infrastructure, with a practical understanding of freight operations, roadside facilities, lorry parking requirements and the needs of a national road network. Experience translating freight and network pressures into deliverable parking development proposals would be relevant. The route to market is also significant: a framework position and the ability to compete for selective call-offs may be important for reaching this buyer. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that smaller or mission-led consultancies may be able to participate where their specialist capability matches the requirement.

Notice Information

Notice Title

S30131 Deliver New Lorry Parking

Notice Description

Road freight is a critical component of the UK economy and national supply chains. Department for Transport evidence notes that more than four fifths of goods in the UK are transported by road, and that the road freight sector employs over 290,000 workers across more than 50,000 businesses and adds around PS18 billion to the UK economy each year. Published freight statistics also show that road remains the dominant mode for domestic freight movement. In 2024, the UK moved 206 billion tonne kilometres of domestic freight, of which 82% was moved by road. The availability and suitability of roadside facilities, including lorry parking, therefore plays an important role in supporting reliable freight operations and network resilience on strategic routes.
