UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured services for the Highways Passport Common Induction, covering delivery of the Highways Common Induction through the PowerPlus platform. The requirement is an e-learning service, intended to provide a common induction for people working in the highways environment. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, a central government public authority. The appointed service is associated with PowerPlus Group, based in Hull. The work centres on digital learning delivery rather than physical highways construction, maintenance or materials supply. Businesses relevant to this requirement are therefore providers of online learning platforms, e-learning content, digital induction programmes or managed training services, particularly those able to support a standardised workforce learning experience for a major national infrastructure organisation.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. PowerPlus Group was awarded the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026, with an award date of 18 August 2026. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £33,908.33 excluding VAT, or £40,690 including VAT. The evaluation route was therefore a non-competitive direct award rather than an open or selective tender. The contract covers delivery of the Highways Common Induction via the PowerPlus platform, with e-learning services classified under CPV 80420000.

This award shows that National Highways purchases structured digital induction services for its highways workforce, using a dedicated online platform and a standardised learning programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a dependable e-learning platform, the ability to deliver consistent induction content at organisational scale, and experience managing learner access, course delivery and completion across a dispersed workforce. Relevant providers may include e-learning specialists, learning-management-system operators, digital training designers and managed training companies able to combine platform capability with content delivery. Experience of safety-critical, infrastructure or highways environments would help a supplier demonstrate that it can present mandatory learning clearly and support National Highways' operational needs.
