Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for the HRE GCL/38 requirement covering the Kirklee–Finnieston (Kelvin Bridge Branch) route and Botanic Garden Station. The procurement is classified under railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, indicating a railway-related requirement connected with maintenance or service vehicle activities. Delivery locations are stated broadly as the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham, England. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main procurement category was works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026 for £97,002 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. There is one stated requirement rather than separately described lots. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The selected supplier is Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd, a large organisation, and the buyer is National Highways Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways Limited for railway-related works involving maintenance or service vehicles on the Kirklee–Finnieston route and at Botanic Garden Station. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need relevant railway maintenance or service-vehicle capability, together with the capacity to deliver works across the stated geographical coverage. Experience of working through framework call-offs and meeting the buyer’s requirements for a selective procurement route would also be important. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so appropriately qualified smaller railway, civil engineering or specialist maintenance businesses may be well placed to participate, either directly or through framework arrangements.
