Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the A31 at Sturminster Marshall. The requirement is identified as surface work for highways (CPV 45233210), with the project title linking it to this specific road location. The work is categorised as construction works. The listed delivery area is the United Kingdom; the project title identifies Sturminster Marshall as the location. The buyer is National Highways Limited, the strategic roads operator for England. This is a road-maintenance requirement focused on improving or renewing the highway surface, rather than a general roads programme or a supply-only purchase.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Hanson Contracting. National Highways used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 29 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 30 August 2026 to 15 January 2027. The awarded contract value is £1,118,818.99. The earlier tender deadline was 29 August 2026 at 12:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published procurement data does not set out a separate evaluation formula or specific qualification conditions. This was a single recorded award; no lot-by-lot allocation is indicated.

The award demonstrates demand from National Highways for a substantial, time-bound highway surfacing package at a named location on the A31. Hanson Contracting, a large supplier, was selected through a framework call-off, so a credible competitor for similar work would need relevant highway surfacing delivery experience, the operational capacity to mobilise and complete works within a defined contract period, and the ability to meet the requirements of the applicable framework. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller contractors may also be relevant where they can demonstrate the required delivery capability, directly or through an appropriate delivery arrangement. Suppliers focused on road-surface works for strategic highways are the closest fit; general construction capability alone would not establish specific suitability.
