UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured specialist consultancy to support its MIDAS (Motorway Incident Detection and Automatic Signalling) service and associated operational technology systems. The work covers Service Delivery Manager expertise and operational service management, service assurance, incident management support, performance monitoring, data analysis and recommendations for service improvement. It also includes support for Operation Greenshields activities. This is a consultancy and operational service-management requirement, rather than a purchase of MIDAS equipment. The buyer is National Highways, the organisation responsible for the strategic road network in England. No specific delivery location is identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Amey OW Ltd through an award under a framework, using a selective route; the competition was not conducted as a competitive call-off. The award was made on 18 September 2026. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, with a 12-month optional extension for contingency only, to a maximum end date of 31 March 2029. The contract value is £318,370 excluding VAT (£382,044 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the MIDAS consultancy support requirement. The published details do not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

For suppliers seeking comparable National Highways work, this award shows demand for specialist consultancy that combines knowledge of motorway incident detection and automatic signalling with hands-on operational service management. A credible competitor would need to provide Service Delivery Manager capability, maintain service assurance, support incident management and monitor performance, as well as analyse operational data and turn it into practical service-improvement recommendations. Familiarity with the MIDAS service, associated operational technology and Operation Greenshields activities would be directly relevant. The requirement is for sustained, integrated support rather than a one-off analysis exercise, so suppliers would need the capacity to provide consistent expertise and work within the buyer’s service governance arrangements. The award was made under a framework, making relevant framework access an important route to competing for similar work.
