Summary of the contracting process

National Highways has concluded a procurement process for the "Winter Fleet 2025" project, which focuses on the acquisition of specialist vehicles capable of performing winter service duties across motorways and trunk roads in England. The procurement, classified under the CPV code 34114000, ensures the delivery of goods across multiple locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, starting on 5th November 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2027. The total contract value awarded is £10,800,000, and the selected supplier is Romaquip, a large enterprise based in Ireland.

This procurement opportunity presents significant business growth potential for companies specialising in the production or supply of specialist vehicles, particularly those equipped for extreme weather conditions. While the contract is awarded, similar future opportunities may be well-suited for SMEs with capabilities in producing or maintaining low-mileage, robust vehicles suitable for use in harsh winter environments. Businesses that can offer competitive solutions aligned with National Highways' requirements for technical specifications and operational reliability would be well positioned to benefit from such tenders.
