Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for the Ynysybwl Branch, specifically the Mill Road bridge over the River Clydach. The requirement concerns infrastructure work at a bridge associated with a railway branch. The procurement is categorised as works, with the classification also covering railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. The named delivery area is the United Kingdom, although the procurement record also lists a range of broad international location categories. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of this scale were considered capable of undertaking the requirement. It was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways Limited selected Amco Giffen on 20 July 2026. The awarded value is £26,363.34, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 1 November 2026. The work was procured through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £26,363.34. The award is active and relates to a single requirement for the Ynysybwl Branch Mill Road bridge over the River Clydach. The recorded award outcome names Amco Giffen as the selected supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for bridge infrastructure works on a railway branch for National Highways Limited. Businesses likely to be credible for a comparable requirement would need practical experience delivering bridge or associated rail infrastructure works, with the technical capability to work safely in an operational transport environment and to manage a focused construction assignment. Experience of National Highways or comparable public-sector delivery would help demonstrate understanding of governance, site controls, quality assurance and reporting. Because the requirement was suitable for SMEs and was placed through a framework call-off, smaller specialist contractors may be well placed where they hold the relevant framework access, delivery capacity and evidence of successfully completed bridge or railway works.
