Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured a software and information-systems product for Street Manager payment invoicing for 2026/2027. The requirement concerns payment and invoice processing associated with the Street Manager service, rather than construction, road maintenance or general consultancy. It is a goods procurement bought by National Highways Limited, a central government public authority. The selected supplier, KAINOS SOFTWARE LIMITED, is based in Belfast and is classified as a large organisation. The buying organisation is based in Birmingham. The requirement would suit software providers whose products support public-sector payment, invoicing or related information-system processes, particularly those able to work with National Highways’ Street Manager environment and operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. KAINOS SOFTWARE LIMITED was selected for the single lot, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £13,500 excluding VAT and £16,200 including VAT. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award covers software and information-systems goods for Street Manager payment invoicing. National Highways Limited is the buyer, and the contract is active, indicating that delivery is underway under the selected supplier’s agreement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that National Highways buys software supporting Street Manager payment and invoice processing through a direct below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a product or service focused on software and information systems, with a clear ability to support payment and invoicing workflows in a public-sector operating environment. It would also need to understand the Street Manager context, work with National Highways’ requirements and provide dependable operational support. The selected supplier’s classification as a large organisation indicates that established organisational capacity was present in the successful supply arrangement.
