Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned consultancy services to assess the steady-state structural condition of selected structures in its East Region. The structures were identified following road structure risk-factor assessments. The work may include preparing structural assessment reports and calculations, assessment and checking certificates, and AutoCAD drawings where needed. The consultant is also required to update the load-management section of IAMIS with assessment results and upload documents to that system. The work is for National Highways’ structures in the East Region; the wider delivery locations recorded against the procurement also include the United Kingdom and several international areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Arcadis on 28 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £177,431.55. The contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. National Highways used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are identified. The service description sets out potential deliverables but gives no weighted evaluation criteria. The earlier tender submission deadline was 23 September 2026 at 7pm; this is an outcome, not an opportunity to submit now.

For firms considering comparable structural-assessment work for National Highways, this award shows demand for engineering consultancy that can assess existing road structures and produce client-accepted technical evidence. Credible suppliers would need structural engineering expertise, including the ability to carry out assessment calculations and prepare formal reports and checking certificates. They would also need to supply AutoCAD drawings when required and manage assessment outputs through IAMIS, including updating load-management results and uploading documents. The scope suggests a need to handle several selected structures and coordinate calculations, checking and reporting as one service. SMEs were considered suitable for this requirement. A framework call-off was the route used, so suppliers seeking similar work would benefit from relevant framework access as well as the technical capacity to deliver this defined package.
