Summary of the contracting process

National Highways, a central government public authority based in Guildford, is managing a procurement process titled "Stockton Indemnity Agreement." This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on land sale or purchase services within the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, having been conducted as a direct award with Wilton Developments Limited as the supplier. The contract, aimed at providing technical advice and services for a Land Sale and Development agreement, was signed on 9 July 2025, with a contract period extending from 10 July 2025 to 9 January 2026. The direct award was undertaken under the Procurement Act 23, as National Highways needed to secure a maintenance depot site for the A19, and Wilton Developments owned the exclusive rights to the land suitable for this purpose.

Businesses specialising in technical consultancy and development services are well-positioned to seek similar opportunities in future tenders by National Highways. Though this specific process was non-competitive due to the unique ownership of the land in question, companies can focus on establishing specialised services or acquiring properties with strategic significance to benefit from direct awards or sole-supplier contracts. Engaging with public sectors like transportation, where infrastructure development is vital, could significantly contribute to business growth and expansion in this sector.

Notice Title

Stockton Indemnity Agreement

Notice Description

To provide technical advice and services in preparation for the Land Sale and Development agreement

Procurement Information

National Highways is enacting this direct award under the Procurement Act 23 Section 41(6) Schedule 5 Section 5. National highway requires a maintenance depot to cover the road maintenance of the A19 to prepare for the end of the Design Build Finance Operate (DBFO) contract ending February 2027. National highways carried out an extensive search for land in the area over the past 2 years to develop a new depot & office to meet this requirement. Land is very limited in the area, however a site became available towards the end of the search work around Jan 25, available only as a land sale and development option, ie. the developer will only sell National Highways this land if they carry out the development. This was the only site that meets the full requirements for the A19 maintenance, alternative solutions would not meet the requirements and pose reputational risk to both NH and DfT. The planning and technical services are advance activities ahead of full Land Sale & Development agreement (subject to planning), that could not be carried out by any other supplier because the developer has control of that site.
