Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works under the PDF Framework for M5 risk reduction. The requirement covers surface work for highways, with delivery potentially across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, the British Overseas Territories and other international locations. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. The requirement is relevant to contractors able to undertake highway surfacing and associated risk-reduction works across a broad geographic area, including major-road environments. It may suit businesses with the operational reach, workforce and equipment needed to deliver highway surface works in several territories through a public-sector framework arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Tarmac Trading Limited was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026 for £930,994.22 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award is active and the tender is complete. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The process concerns one highway surface-works requirement, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded route to market was a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender.

This award shows that National Highways uses framework call-offs to commission substantial highway surface works for M5 risk reduction. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in highway surfacing and risk-reduction delivery, with the plant, skilled workforce, traffic-management arrangements and operational controls required for work in live or strategically important road environments. The geographic scope indicates that suppliers may need to mobilise across the United Kingdom and potentially other listed territories, so regional coverage, transport capacity and supply-chain resilience would strengthen a bid. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist contractors may be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary technical competence, delivery capacity, safety performance and framework access.
