UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited bought membership to the D Group through Strategy International Ltd. The requirement is a membership organisation service, classified under CPV 98130000, rather than construction, transport operations or the supply of physical goods. National Highways Limited is a UK public authority classified as central government and is based in Birmingham. Strategy International Ltd, based in London, was the selected supplier and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement concerns access to the D Group membership arrangement for National Highways, supplied through Strategy International. It is therefore relevant to businesses that provide corporate, professional or policy-network membership services, particularly those able to arrange or manage membership of established groups for public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Strategy International Ltd received the award on 27 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its value is £52,500 excluding VAT and £63,000 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot and one service requirement: D Group membership. The selected supplier is Strategy International Ltd. This outcome shows that National Highways procured the membership through a non-competitive below-threshold route, rather than an open or selective tender. The arrangement is a three-year service contract for the stated membership period.

This procurement is relevant to suppliers that provide membership of established business, policy or professional networks, or act as an intermediary for access to such organisations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to offer a clearly defined membership arrangement suitable for a central-government public authority, with the organisational standing and administrative capability to manage the relationship. The award also shows that National Highways has a purchasing need for this type of service at a substantial multi-year scale, and that the requirement can be handled as a below-threshold direct award without competition. Businesses monitoring National Highways should therefore assess whether they can provide equivalent D Group access or a comparable network membership with a straightforward contracting and account-management model.
