Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured railway works for the Eden Valley Junction to Kirkby Stephen section of the Warcop Branch, at Galebars No. 1, Waitsby Road. The requirement is classified as railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons (CPV 34621000), indicating work connected with rail maintenance operations and associated rail vehicles or wagons. The stated main category is works. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and the named route location around Eden Valley Junction, Kirkby Stephen and Waitsby Road. This is a requirement for businesses involved in railway infrastructure works, rail maintenance operations, or the supply and use of specialist railway maintenance and freight equipment for this part of the Eden Valley railway network.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2026 through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Amco Giffen was selected as supplier. The awarded value is £148,117.98, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. National Highways Limited was the buyer. The procurement was structured as works and the award is active. The process used a framework call-off route rather than an open tender. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not identified as reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award is useful market evidence for railway contractors and specialist rail-equipment businesses targeting National Highways Limited. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver railway maintenance works around the Eden Valley Junction, Kirkby Stephen and Warcop Branch route, and demonstrate practical capability with railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. The procurement shows that this buyer uses selective call-offs from framework agreements, so relevant suppliers would need an appropriate route into the applicable framework as well as the operational capacity to perform a defined rail-site package. Its SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist rail businesses can be relevant where they can meet the framework and delivery requirements.
