Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the M3 southbound route between Fleet Services and UpNately. The requirement falls within road construction and maintenance works, classified under CPV 45233210. It was structured as a fleet services requirement within a framework context, covering work associated with the highway rather than general facilities or transport services. Delivery locations include the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. This opportunity is relevant to businesses delivering road surfacing or related highway works, particularly those able to operate across National Highways' managed network and framework arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. National Highways Limited awarded the contract to Holcim UK Limited on 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £4,483,540.57. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for works and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The overall estimated tender value was also £4,483,540.57. The contracting process is recorded as complete, and the award is active. The available information identifies the selected supplier but does not set out a detailed scoring breakdown or separate lots.

This award indicates established demand from National Highways for substantial highway surface works on a defined strategic-road route, delivered through a framework call-off. Competitors considering similar future requirements would need credible capability in road surfacing and highway construction, with the operational capacity to deliver safely and reliably on a live or managed motorway network. Experience of framework call-offs and public-sector highway work would help demonstrate that capability. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist contractors may be relevant where they can provide sufficient resources, coordination and delivery assurance, either independently or through suitable supply-chain arrangements. Businesses should focus on evidence directly relevant to highway surface works for National Highways rather than unrelated construction services.
