Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works on the northbound M5 between junctions 31 and 30, covering mileposts 258.6 to 256. The requirement is classified as surface work for highways and falls within the works category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. The project title identifies a defined stretch of motorway rather than a broad national service, so it is most relevant to contractors able to plan and carry out highway surfacing or related road-surface works on a major motorway. The requirement concerns physical works at the identified M5 location, rather than consultancy, supplies or general facilities services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 July 2026 to FM Conway Ltd. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value was £769,492. The contract runs from 4 July 2026 to 2 September 2026. One supplier is identified for the award. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information identifies the works, framework call-off route, award outcome, value and contract dates; it does not set out detailed technical scoring or a separate evaluation weighting.

For competitors, this award is a clear example of National Highways buying defined motorway surface works through a framework call-off. Businesses well placed for a comparable requirement would have practical capability in highway surfacing, road-surface preparation and associated motorway works, with the operational systems needed to work safely on a live or strategically important trunk-road network. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating relevant major-road experience, competent site and traffic management, reliable delivery planning, and sufficient labour, plant and materials capacity for a concentrated section of motorway. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a capable specialist or appropriately resourced medium-sized contractor could be relevant, particularly where it already holds access to the relevant framework route.
