Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned works associated with the Glen Luce Viaduct at the Water of Luce, on the Dumfries–Stranraer route. The procurement is classified as railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons (CPV 34621000), although the main category is works. The named location is in the United Kingdom, and the procurement record also covers delivery across Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement therefore concerns rail-related infrastructure work for National Highways, with the Glen Luce Viaduct and Water of Luce providing the clearest indication of the operational site and subject matter.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd on 7 August 2026 for £32,534 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender had a stated upper value of £32,534. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation took place through the framework call-off route, rather than an open competition described in this procurement.

Although this contract has been awarded, it demonstrates National Highways’ demand for rail-related works at a named viaduct and water crossing on the Dumfries–Stranraer route. Suppliers looking to compete for comparable requirements from this buyer would need credible capability in railway maintenance or associated civil engineering works, with the practical capacity to deliver at an operational infrastructure site. The selected supplier was a large construction company, indicating that established delivery capability and the ability to manage site-based works were relevant. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms with appropriate rail, bridge or infrastructure experience could be credible participants, including as framework suppliers or delivery partners when similar work is required.
