The procurement falls under the services category with a gross value of £60,000,000. This initiative involves holding a second Preliminary Market Engagement Day, originally scheduled for 19th May 2026 but now postponed, to discuss the procurement process and contract documents. Interested parties are encouraged to register their participation online via the provided link by the close of business on 15th May 2026.

Enterprises with expertise in managing extensive road networks and providing compliant, innovative solutions for traffic control systems will find this tender especially pertinent. Suppliers with experience in similar high-value government contracts will be well-positioned to engage in this process, potentially securing a long-term partnership with National Highways, given the contract period extending from May 2027 to May 2032, with possible renewal options.
