Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured an IT software package for the M25 DBFO Contract, identified as “icloud”. The requirement falls within software services and was bought by National Highways for its operations. Delivery covered the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is based in England, with locations associated with Guildford and Birmingham. The opportunity therefore concerns a software supplier able to provide services across a broad geographical area, rather than a local, site-specific works contract. It may be relevant to businesses supplying enterprise software packages to a national highways body or supporting comparable infrastructure and transport operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 28 June 2024 at 17:00. Two active awards were made to AFFINITEXT (UK) LIMITED. The first award was dated 28 June 2024, valued at £28,500, and covers 29 June 2024 to 28 June 2027. The second award was dated 28 July 2026, valued at £29,118.17, and covers 29 July 2026 to 28 June 2027. These are separate awards and their values have not been combined. The procurement’s upper estimated value was £29,118.17. It was categorised as a services contract, with suitability recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for IT software from National Highways and shows that the buyer uses framework call-offs to source it. A future competitor would need access to the relevant framework route, or a position on an equivalent framework, and the ability to supply and support enterprise software for a public infrastructure organisation. The selected supplier was a large business, while the procurement recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; this indicates that scale, established delivery capability and organisational capacity are likely to matter. Suppliers should be able to operate across the United Kingdom and wider locations covered by National Highways’ requirement, with systems suitable for ongoing business use.
