Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned remedial highway surface works associated with fire damage on the A31 in the New Forest. The requirement is road-surface repair work, rather than a general highways maintenance programme. The procurement is identified as works and relates to the A31 New Forest fire remedial works. The buyer is National Highways Limited, the organisation responsible for the project. The location is the A31 in the New Forest; the item’s delivery-location data gives only broad territories and does not identify a more precise worksite. The requirement is presented as a single piece of work, with no separate lots described. Its focus is practical repair of highway surfaces following fire damage.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Highways Limited selected Associated Asphalt Contracting Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 29 August 2026, for £11,264.85. The contract period ran from 29 August to 4 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The recorded process gives the procurement method and framework route, but no evaluation criteria or scoring basis. The work is described as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No division into separately awarded lots is recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for targeted road-surface repairs after fire damage, delivered as a short, defined highway works package through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need the capability to assess and repair damaged road surfaces on a live strategic road, organise the necessary workforce and equipment, and complete the work within a tightly bounded delivery window. Experience of highway surfacing and working safely in a road environment would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist contractor could be well placed if it can meet the operational demands and any framework participation conditions. The selected supplier was a large contractor, showing that established highway works firms also compete for this scale of remedial work.
