UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured membership of the Major Projects Association for its project management and assistant project management staff. The membership provides access to resources, seminars, workshops and opportunities to meet project professionals from across the infrastructure industry. These activities support professional networking and help staff maintain evidence of continuing professional development in the THRIVE environment. The requirement is a professional membership service rather than construction, consultancy delivery or physical works. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham, and the appointed provider is Major Projects Association, an SME based in Witney. The service is classified as miscellaneous membership organisations services (CPV 98130000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one completed lot. Major Projects Association was awarded the service on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £12,702. National Highways Limited is the buyer and Major Projects Association is the selected supplier. The award covers the membership service for National Highways project management and assistant project management staff. The published outcome records an active award and active contract, with the procurement evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than competitive tendering.

This procurement demonstrates demand from National Highways for structured professional development and networking support for staff working on major infrastructure projects. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be established membership or professional organisations able to provide relevant project-management resources, practitioner seminars, practical workshops and access to an infrastructure-sector peer network. Credibility would come from showing that activities support continuing professional development and can provide usable evidence for staff development records, including integration with an environment such as THRIVE where required. Organisations should also be able to serve project management and assistant project management audiences and understand the professional needs of major infrastructure delivery teams. The appointed supplier’s SME status indicates that this type of service can be delivered by a specialist organisation rather than only a large corporate provider.
