Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned railway maintenance or service vehicle work under the requirement titled “HRE - AND/181 - Andoversford - Swindon - Ludgershall - Woodbridge”. The procurement is categorised as works. The title identifies Andoversford, Swindon, Ludgershall and Woodbridge, but the listed delivery locations span the United Kingdom and several other broad areas, so the precise work locations cannot be established from the place data. The requirement is linked to railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons; the published information does not describe specific tasks, vehicle quantities or the purpose of the work in further detail.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to MGroup. The award date was 12 October 2026, and the contract runs from 13 October 2026 to 27 March 2027. The awarded value is £40,872.70. National Highways used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 13 October 2026. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no lot breakdown. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. No award evaluation criteria are reported, so the basis on which the competing suppliers were assessed is not clear from the available process details.

For suppliers competing when National Highways next buys this requirement, the award demonstrates demand for railway maintenance or service vehicle-related works through a framework call-off. MGroup was selected, providing a market reference for the type of supplier that won this contract. Smaller businesses were considered suitable, so firms do not necessarily need to be large to be relevant; a credible competitor would need to show that it can deliver the defined railway-related works at the required scale and across the relevant locations. The published scope does not set out specific technical capabilities, accreditations, staffing levels or experience requirements, so it does not establish a narrower qualification profile. Suppliers with relevant delivery evidence and the ability to meet National Highways’ framework and project requirements are the closest fit.
