Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured works for the Waterless Railway Bridge on the St Andrews–Leven route in East Fife. The requirement concerns railway infrastructure construction or maintenance associated with this bridge project, with the procurement classified under CPV 34621000, covering railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons. The principal work category is works. The named delivery location is East Fife, Scotland, while the procurement record also identifies the United Kingdom and wider delivery locations. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and is relevant to contractors with experience delivering railway-related civil engineering or infrastructure works for a national transport client.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd was awarded the contract on 15 September 2026 for £88,476 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 September 2026. The contract covers the Waterless Railway Bridge requirement on the St Andrews–Leven route in East Fife. The procurement record does not state an evaluation weighting or separate award criteria. The award is active, with one named supplier and one stated contract value; these figures describe this award only and are not a combined total across other work.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of National Highways’ demand for focused railway infrastructure works delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical capability in railway-related civil engineering, bridge works and working within a transport infrastructure environment. Relevant experience should demonstrate the ability to deliver a defined physical asset project for a public-sector client, manage site delivery and meet the requirements of an operational rail-related setting. The buyer’s identification of the work as suitable for SMEs indicates that smaller specialist contractors may be able to compete, particularly where they can show dependable delivery capacity, suitable project management and evidence of completed railway or bridge construction and maintenance work.
