UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited engaged interim specialist procurement support for its Estates category. The work covered leading procurement strategy and contract working groups, handling contract amendments, and implementing a targeted set of Estates contract documents. It also involved supplementing core staff in the Procurement Division as they undertook procurements. This is a specialist procurement and contract-support services requirement, rather than a purchase of physical estate assets or construction works. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited. The supplier is based in Manchester, but the procurement information does not identify where the support itself was delivered, so the supplier’s address should not be taken as the service location.

The procurement is complete and a supplier was selected through a direct, below-threshold process without competition. Weatherby Contract Services Ltd was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 28 April 2026 and runs from 30 April to 31 October 2026. Its stated value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The requirement was organised as a single lot. The procurement information describes the specialist Estates support required, but does not provide an award date or a stated evaluation basis. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract is active; no cancellation or termination is reported.

This requirement shows National Highways’ demand for specialist procurement capacity within Estates, including support for strategy, contract working groups, contract amendments and implementation of contract documentation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable Estates procurement expertise and the ability to work alongside the buyer’s core procurement staff, contributing to procurements as well as contract-related activity. Experience coordinating working groups and managing amendments would be directly relevant, as would the ability to turn a targeted set of contract documents into practical implementation. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller provider was selected for this defined support requirement. The work is specialist professional services, not general estate maintenance or construction.
