UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured NEC4 contract e-learning services. The requirement is for online learning relating to NEC4 contracts, placing it in the professional training and e-learning services market rather than general highway construction or IT supply. National Highways is the public-sector buyer, based in Birmingham, and the service is associated with its national highways responsibilities. The awarded supplier, Thomas Teleford Ltd, is an SME based in London. The procurement covered a single requirement for NEC4 e-learning services. Businesses operating in contract-management training, NEC4 education, online course development or delivery of structured learning for public-sector staff would find the subject matter relevant. The requirement is service-based and focused on helping users learn about NEC4 contract arrangements through e-learning.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one lot. Thomas Teleford Ltd received the award, which is active. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 September 2027. Its value is £23,700 excluding VAT and £28,440 including VAT. The contract and award are recorded as active, while the tender is complete. The published outcome identifies the service as e-learning, with CPV classification 80420000. The available procurement record does not set out a competitive evaluation exercise, because the stated route was a below-threshold direct award without competition. This is therefore an awarded contract outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers delivering NEC4 contract training through online learning. A credible competitor for a future requirement from National Highways would need demonstrable capability to turn NEC4 subject matter into effective e-learning and to support delivery across a public-sector workforce. Relevant strengths would include accurate NEC4 content, a usable digital learning platform, course design and maintenance, learner support, and the capacity to provide a managed service over a contract of roughly one year. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only by a large training company. Firms with established NEC4 training expertise and public-sector delivery experience would be well placed to assess similar demand from this buyer.
