Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway surface repair works under the title “PDF Framework - M18 J5 to J4 S/B Patching”. The requirement covers patching the southbound carriageway of the M18 between Junction 5 and Junction 4. It is classified as surface work for highways and falls within the works category. Delivery is identified in the United Kingdom, with the procurement record also describing coverage across the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. In practical terms, the opportunity concerns a highways contractor able to undertake patching and associated carriageway surface works for National Highways on a strategic motorway route.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. National Highways used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 2 June 2026 to Tarmac Trading Limited, for £232,257.65 including the recorded currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 3 June 2026 to 14 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 2 June 2026 at 12:00 noon. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and it was presented as a single highway patching requirement rather than separate lots. The evaluation basis and any additional participation conditions are not set out in the available procurement details.

For a supplier that did not win this call-off, the procurement demonstrates a defined National Highways requirement for motorway carriageway patching delivered through an established framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical highway surfacing and patching capability, suitable plant and materials, and the capacity to work safely and efficiently on a strategic motorway carriageway. Experience of traffic management, lane or carriageway restrictions, quality-controlled repair methods and working to National Highways requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position. The stated suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller specialist highways contractors may be relevant, either as framework suppliers or through delivery partnerships, provided they can demonstrate the operational capacity and experience needed for this type of work.
