Summary of the contracting process

National Highways has recently completed a procurement process for the M23 London to Brighton APA project, involving the installation of scaffolding on Network Rail infrastructure to facilitate bridge bearing replacement and reconstruction. This project, categorised under the "works" industry and located along the M23 Motorway in the United Kingdom, is governed by the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. Initiated on 18th July 2025, with a contract end date of 31st March 2027, the procurement process utilised a direct method, executed below the threshold without open competition, and is currently at the 'award' stage, signified by the active status of the contract awarded to Network Rail.

Due to the direct procurement method employed, businesses with established relationships or partnerships, such as those akin to Network Rail's involvement, could be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. With a significant contract value nearing £923,078.35, participation in contracts like this could potentially bolster a company's portfolio and enhance its standing in the infrastructure sector.
