UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned professional services for the Avonmouth Dilapidations requirement. The work is described as completing work originally instructed under the organisation’s commercial services contract; the published service classification identifies legal advisory services. The procurement concerns one lot. The title points to dilapidations at Avonmouth, but the available description does not set out the specific tasks, assets or intended outcomes in further detail.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Carter Jonas. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 28 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £112,500 excluding VAT (£135,000 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement was not divided into multiple lots; its single lot is complete. The published information does not describe an evaluation or award-scoring basis, and the direct award means suppliers were not evaluated through a competitive tender for this requirement.

For firms competing for comparable National Highways work, this award shows demand for legal advisory services connected with dilapidations and continuation of work under an existing commercial services contract. Carter Jonas was selected to complete that previously instructed work. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant property and dilapidations expertise, sound legal advisory capability and the capacity to carry forward work already commissioned through a commercial services arrangement. The direct, non-competitive route used here is also relevant: this award does not show that National Highways tested competing offers or published technical qualifications as selection requirements. Suppliers should therefore treat experience with the buyer’s existing commercial services work and the ability to deliver the defined follow-on instruction as commercially pertinent, rather than infer a broader service requirement.
