Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured business and management consultancy services to support future strategy and planning for its critical operational technology services. The work covers third-line repairs, logistics and warehousing, and roadside technology spares, which support the maintenance, repair, storage and distribution of roadside technology assets across the Strategic Road Network. The requirement is for advisory and planning support around these connected operational functions, rather than the supply of the technology spares or the delivery of repair and warehousing services themselves. National Highways is the buying organisation. Delivery addresses cover the United Kingdom and a broad set of overseas locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to The Supply Chain Consulting Group Limited. National Highways used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 23 October 2026, and the contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 27 October 2027. The awarded contract value is £248,783. The procurement was presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots recorded. The estimated tender value matches the awarded value. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the contract outcome records one selected supplier. The available procurement information describes the service scope and the framework call-off route, but does not set out specific scored evaluation criteria or supplier qualification thresholds.

This award shows that National Highways buys specialist consultancy to shape future strategy and planning for operational technology support across the Strategic Road Network. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need credible experience connecting third-line repair operations with logistics, warehousing and management of roadside technology spares. The work calls for an understanding of how assets are maintained, repaired, stored and distributed, as well as the ability to assess current arrangements and develop practical plans for future service needs. The call-off route also indicates that access to the relevant framework is important to competing for this type of work. The recorded SME suitability suggests that smaller consultancies may be appropriate, provided they can demonstrate the depth of operational technology and supply-chain expertise needed for a national highways environment.
