Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured ground investigation services for Phase 2 of the A46 MP3/1 Butchers Wood project. The work is located in the South West of England. This is a services requirement focused on investigating ground conditions for the named highway project.

The procurement is complete and Arcadis was selected for the contract. The award was made on 19 October 2026, for £29,548.35. The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender response deadline was 19 October 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award provides a clear example of National Highways buying project-specific ground investigation services for a highway scheme in the South West. Arcadis, a large supplier, was selected, showing that a supplier with the capacity to deliver the required investigation work at project scale was successful. Small and medium-sized businesses were also considered suitable for the requirement, so smaller specialist ground investigation firms may be credible competitors when this buyer next procures comparable work. Relevant suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can deliver ground investigation services for a defined highway project.
