Summary of the contracting process

National Highways procured miscellaneous operational technology (OT) parts and goods for its road network. The requirement is classified as control, safety or signalling equipment for roads (CPV 34996000). The listed delivery coverage spans the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The process names National Highways Limited as the buyer. The title refers to Lot 1, but the published item information does not describe individual products, quantities or technical specifications. The work is a supply contract, rather than a service or construction project, and relates to National Highways’ operational technology requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to J1-LED Intelligent Transport Systems Pty Limited. The award date was 5 April 2024, with an awarded value of £4,414,213. The award contract period runs from 5 April 2024 to 30 March 2028. The tender’s stated contract period was 5 April 2024 to 6 October 2026, while the award records the later end date. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The stated tender deadline was 29 March 2024 at 12:00. The process is identified as Lot 1, and the recorded suitability assessment says it was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are reported.

For suppliers looking to compete for similar National Highways requirements, this award demonstrates demand for miscellaneous operational technology parts and goods supporting road-network control, safety and signalling. A credible competitor would need to supply relevant equipment across a broad delivery footprint, including locations beyond the UK, and to meet the buyer’s operational requirements reliably. The selected supplier is identified as a large business, and the procurement was handled as a selective call-off from a framework agreement; suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore consider the capability and scale needed to serve a framework-based purchasing route. The suitability assessment indicates that this particular requirement was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published scope does not identify specific product specifications or accreditations, so no particular technical credentials can be inferred.
