Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned works at the Widgerly Down bridge over a bridleway on the Andoversford–Swindon–Ludgershall route. The requirement is classified as railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, although the stated project title identifies a bridge over a bridleway as the specific asset and location. It is a works contract, so it is relevant to businesses delivering infrastructure or maintenance work connected with this type of transport asset. The named route and bridge provide the clearest geographic context for the work. The contracting authority is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham, and the delivery location is associated with the United Kingdom.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure and made a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to MGroup on 21 August 2026 for £12,695.66 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 2 October 2026. The tender’s recorded value is also £12,695.66. The process is identified as complete and the award is active. The requirement was treated as a single works opportunity, with the award covering the stated bridge project. The procurement record does not set out a separate evaluation basis or additional participation requirements.

This award is useful market evidence for contractors providing relatively small-scale transport infrastructure or maintenance works, particularly businesses able to work on bridge assets and sites involving bridleway interfaces. The buyer identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist contractors may be relevant when comparable requirements return. MGroup’s selection shows that a large supplier secured the work through a framework call-off, making framework access and the ability to respond through that route commercially important. Credible competitors would need practical works capability aligned with railway maintenance or service-vehicle infrastructure and the capacity to deliver a defined bridge-related project for National Highways Limited. The requirement indicates demand for targeted, site-specific works rather than a broad programme.
