Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the M6 Bents Farm to Junction 45 scheme, southbound only. The requirement covers surface work for highways and is categorised as works. Delivery is identified across the United Kingdom and other listed locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. The procurement was structured as a framework requirement for highway maintenance or improvement activity on the specified M6 southbound route. It is therefore relevant to contractors with experience delivering road surfacing and associated highway works for a national roads authority.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure, with the contract called off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 25 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited on 25 July 2026 for £3,745,407.75, and the awarded contract period runs from 26 July 2026 to 18 December 2026. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published basis identifies highway surface works for the M6 Bents Farm to Junction 45 southbound requirement; the available information does not set out additional evaluation weightings or separate lots.

This award is useful market evidence for SMEs and larger highway contractors that provide road surfacing and related highway construction services. It shows National Highways buying a substantial, route-specific package through a framework call-off, with delivery focused on the M6 southbound carriageway. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to manage a sizeable highway works package, mobilise for a defined motorway location, and deliver safely within a tightly controlled programme. Relevant experience of surface work on strategic roads, dependable site management, traffic and network coordination, and the resources to meet National Highways’ delivery requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position when a comparable requirement returns to market.
