UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured Considerate Constructors Scheme participation for the Lower Thames Crossing. The requirement supports the project’s Development Consent Order obligations, which require Delivery Partners carrying out works within the programme to participate in the scheme. This is a construction-sector compliance and monitoring service, classified under consultative engineering and construction services. Delivery relates to the Lower Thames Crossing programme in the United Kingdom. The buyer is National Highways Limited, the public authority responsible for the procurement. The requirement concerns services rather than physical construction works, but is directly connected with the management and oversight of construction activity within a major transport infrastructure programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to the Considerate Constructors Scheme on 15 July 2026. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award is for £30,191 excluding VAT and £36,229.20 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2032, with signature scheduled for 28 August 2026. The procurement covered one completed lot and the award remains active. The published description links the purchase to the Lower Thames Crossing’s Development Consent Order obligations and to Delivery Partners undertaking programme works. The selected supplier is Considerate Constructors Scheme, an SME. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from National Highways for formal construction-sector compliance services on the Lower Thames Crossing programme. Suppliers seeking to compete when the requirement returns would need a credible ability to administer or deliver Considerate Constructors Scheme participation across a long-running infrastructure programme. Relevant strengths include understanding construction-site standards, supporting Delivery Partners, maintaining scheme participation records and providing services that can withstand scrutiny against Development Consent Order obligations. Experience working with major transport or civil engineering programmes would help demonstrate scale and reliability. The opportunity is particularly relevant to organisations with established construction-sector relationships and the capacity to support multiple delivery partners throughout a complex national infrastructure project.
