UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited engaged interim specialist procurement resources to supplement its core staff in the Procurement Division. The work supports the division in undertaking procurements and is described as highways consultancy services. It is a professional services requirement focused on providing additional procurement expertise within the buyer’s team. The supplier named for the work is HGJ Consultancy Ltd, based in Penarth, Wales. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, the central government body responsible for the strategic road network in England. The published scope does not identify particular procurements, deliverables or road locations; the stated purpose is to reinforce procurement capacity rather than to deliver a defined highways project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to HGJ Consultancy Ltd. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 August to 31 October 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The requirement was organised as one lot. No evaluation criteria are stated; the route was a non-competitive direct award rather than a competitive assessment. The awarded service is interim specialist procurement support for the Procurement Division. The contract is recorded as active, and the award as active.

For suppliers positioning for a comparable requirement from National Highways, this award indicates demand for short-term procurement specialists who can augment an established public-sector procurement team and help it conduct procurements. Credible providers would need experienced procurement personnel able to work alongside core staff, understand public-sector purchasing processes and contribute quickly within a defined interim assignment. Consultancy firms with capacity to supply individual specialists or a small team may be relevant; the supplier selected here is recorded as an SME. This was a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not show a competitive scoring model or published technical and accreditation thresholds. The commercial signal is specifically for procurement-resource support within National Highways’ Procurement Division, rather than general highways engineering or project delivery.
