Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by National Highways Limited, a public authority within the central government, focuses on services related to the asset management of the M25 DBFO and its facilitation of the Lower Thames Crossing project. Located in Birmingham, the tender was initiated without competition under the "direct" procurement method, designated as "Below threshold - without competition." This process has reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded to Fox Consultants Ltd on 12 February 2026. The contract, valued at £124,740 gross, spans from 23 February 2026 to 7 September 2026, encompassing construction consultancy services.

This tender offers promising avenues for SMEs specialising in construction consultancy services within the UK. With Fox Consultants Ltd already awarded the contract, businesses in similar fields could gain insights into the types of projects central government bodies are prioritising, thereby enhancing their strategic positioning. Companies adept at managing large-scale infrastructure contracts can further explore opportunities to strengthen ties with governmental entities, particularly if they can offer expertise in private regulated entity models and DBFO contracts.
