Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works under the PDF Framework for the M6 at Bents Farm, Junction 45, covering the northbound carriageway only. The requirement is classified as surface work for highways and falls within the works category. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom, with the named location being the M6 Bents Farm Junction 45 northbound section. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, the company responsible for the strategic road network. This is a focused road-surfacing and highway-maintenance requirement rather than a general construction project, so it is most relevant to contractors able to plan and deliver works on a live or operational motorway environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 29 April 2026 to Tarmac Trading Limited for £2,763,651.29 including the published currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 30 April 2026 to 21 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 29 April 2026 at 12:00. The process concerns the full requirement for the M6 Bents Farm Junction 45 northbound section, with an estimated procurement value matching the awarded value. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting comparable National Highways surfacing requirements. A credible competitor would need specialist highway-surface-work capability, the equipment and workforce capacity to deliver a concentrated motorway scheme, and practical experience working safely around strategic-road-network operations. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, indicating that a business of smaller scale may be well placed if it can demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity, quality control and resilience for a major road asset. Firms should also be able to operate through a framework call-off route and present evidence of reliable delivery on technically demanding carriageway works. Relevant experience on motorway resurfacing, traffic management interfaces and time-critical mobilisation would strengthen future credibility.
