UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned railway interface services from Network Rail for the Todds Green Railway Bridge in support of urgent investigation and remedial works. The requirement covers the railway arrangements needed to carry out work safely above the operational East Coast Main Line. Services include arranging access, railway protection, operational support and associated asset protection requirements, alongside bridge inspection services. This is a specialist infrastructure and rail-safety requirement, rather than general construction alone. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, while Network Rail is the selected service provider. The work relates to Todds Green Railway Bridge and the operational railway interface needed to enable the associated investigation and remedial activity.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. National Highways Limited used a direct award below threshold without competition, with Network Rail selected for the services. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £53,799.04 excluding VAT, or £64,558.84 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the full requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement concerns bridge-inspection and railway interface services, with the direct-award route used rather than a competitive evaluation. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This requirement indicates demand for suppliers able to support work on or beside an operational railway, particularly where bridge investigation and remedial activity must be delivered safely above a live main line. A credible competitor would need practical capability in railway access arrangements, railway protection, operational coordination and asset protection, together with bridge inspection expertise. Experience of integrating construction or engineering work with railway operations would be important, as would the capacity to respond to urgent infrastructure risks and manage the safety interface between the works and Network Rail’s operational assets. Organisations that can combine structural or bridge engineering with rail-interface management would be well placed when National Highways next sources a comparable requirement.
