Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured cyber security services to maintain its cyber security capability and service continuity across critical security programmes and operational activities. The requirement concerns specialist cyber security support for the organisation’s operational work and security initiatives. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement, rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work. The procurement is identified as a variation to Package 3 of the PAN DS arrangement; the stated purpose of the additional contractual headroom was to meet increased demand for specialist cyber security resources as the pipeline of initiatives grew. The buyer is National Highways Limited.

The contract has been awarded to BAE Systems Applied Intelligence Ltd, and is active. It was signed on 2 October 2026. The contract value is £20,036,666.67. The contract period ends on 26 June 2027. The procurement is a variation to an existing contract, justified by the original contractor’s need to provide additional specialist cyber security resources as the pipeline of initiatives grew. The stated amendment keeps the scope, term, deliverables and nature of services unchanged; the uplift provides additional contractual headroom to meet increased requirements until expiry. The requirement is presented as one lot. No separate evaluation criteria or competition procedure are set out in the process information.

This award demonstrates National Highways’ continuing demand for specialist cyber security capacity to support critical security programmes and operational continuity. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate strong cyber security expertise and the capacity to supply additional specialist resources as initiatives expand, while maintaining service continuity across operational activity. Experience supporting a complex infrastructure organisation and working across multiple security programmes would be relevant to the stated need. The award went to a large established supplier, indicating that the requirement was met by a provider able to deliver at substantial scale. The procurement was handled as an uplift to an existing contract with its original supplier, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to meet growing demand through dependable, scalable specialist support.
