UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned the design and implementation of mitigations for the Kennards House to Five Lanes safety scheme in Cornwall. This is a civil engineering design and related implementation service, intended to address safety requirements along the scheme. The work is associated with engineering design services for the construction of civil engineering works. The buyer is National Highways Limited, a central government public authority. The delivery area is the route between Kennards House and Five Lanes, Cornwall. Cornwall Council is the selected supplier, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a large public-sector organisation with the capability to undertake or coordinate engineering design and safety-scheme mitigation work for National Highways.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Cornwall Council received the award for the single lot, which has an active award status. The award and contract were dated 20 August 2026. The contract is active and runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. Cornwall Council is the named supplier. The outcome shows that National Highways selected a public-sector supplier through a non-competitive below-threshold route for the design and implementation requirement, rather than conducting an open tender or competitive procedure.

For competitors, this procurement is evidence that National Highways buys integrated safety-scheme mitigation services covering both design and implementation, rather than design work in isolation. A credible future supplier would need to provide engineering design capability relevant to civil engineering construction and the practical ability to deliver mitigation measures for a highway safety scheme. Organisations should be able to demonstrate dependable coordination across design and delivery, an understanding of work affecting the Kennards House to Five Lanes route, and the capacity to manage a substantial, time-limited public infrastructure assignment. Cornwall Council’s selection also indicates that public-sector bodies with suitable engineering and delivery capability can satisfy this buyer’s requirement.
