Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured highway pavement surface works under the PDF Framework for the A1 northbound and southbound carriageways between Foston and Harlaxton. The requirement is categorised as highway surface work and is a works contract, covering delivery in the United Kingdom. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Annesley, England. The procurement concerns physical highway maintenance and surfacing rather than consultancy, supplies or general construction. It is relevant to contractors able to undertake pavement and carriageway surface works on a major-road network, particularly those operating through highway frameworks and capable of delivering works across the stated A1 section.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited on 16 April 2026 for £1,712,323.52 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 17 April 2026 to 14 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 16 April 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and covers the full A1 northbound and southbound Foston–Harlaxton pavement requirement. There was one named award supplier, and the published award value is the value for that award rather than a combined total across multiple lots.

For suppliers that did not win this call-off, the award demonstrates demand from National Highways for substantial, time-bound pavement and carriageway surface works on the A1. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven highway surfacing capability, the plant, materials, workforce and operational capacity to work on a major strategic route, and experience managing delivery across both carriageway directions. Familiarity with framework call-off competitions would be important, as would the ability to plan works around live-road constraints, traffic management and safety requirements where these are required by the framework or task order. The buyer’s indication that the requirement is suitable for SMEs suggests that appropriately capable smaller contractors may compete, either independently or through suitable framework arrangements.
