Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured lighting control and management systems for Areas 3 and 4 of its road network. The requirement was a retrospective agreement covering Lighting CMS, with lighting systems classified as the goods being supplied. The contract concerns activity across the United Kingdom. National Highways is the public authority responsible for the procurement, and the selected supplier is UK Electric Limited. The requirement is focused on lighting infrastructure and its associated control and management systems, rather than general electrical work or wider construction services. It is relevant to businesses supplying lighting systems, lighting control equipment or integrated solutions for major road and transport infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. One lot was awarded to UK Electric Limited. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026, runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, and has a value of £16,438.32 excluding VAT, or £19,725.98 including VAT. The contract title is Lighting CMS Area 3 & 4. The published outcome records UK Electric Limited as the selected supplier. The information provided does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting, because the procurement was made without competition.

This procurement shows that National Highways buys lighting control and management systems for defined areas of its road network through direct, below-threshold routes. A supplier seeking comparable work would need a credible capability in lighting systems and the delivery of lighting control or management solutions for transport infrastructure. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an organisation with the capacity to deliver the agreement as a standalone supplier. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate practical experience with lighting infrastructure, reliable supply and installation support where required, and the operational capacity to work across the locations covered by National Highways’ network. The requirement may also be relevant to specialist electrical and infrastructure suppliers developing relationships with larger contractors.
