Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited is buying additional project management consultancy support for its ADTS implementation programme. The uplift funds extra consultancy effort for the revised implementation approach, covering business readiness, deployment support, go-live planning and hypercare. This is an increase in the value available under the existing support contract, rather than an extension of its term or a change to the service scope, deliverables or nature. The work is for National Highways’ programme and is described as UK-wide. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The requirement is relevant to consultancy businesses able to support complex technology implementation and deployment, particularly through organisational readiness, go-live preparation and post-launch support.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Netcompany UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026, with an awarded value of £202,500. The recorded contract period ends on 31 March 2027. This is an uplift to an existing contract, not a request to extend its term. The stated uplift is £67,500, described as 50% of the original contract value. The additional services were considered necessary during delivery of the original requirement and intrinsically linked to the incumbent supplier’s work; replacing that supplier was said to risk lost project knowledge, duplicated effort, extra cost and increased delivery risk. The contract expiry is also described in the amendment rationale as June 2027.

This award indicates demand from National Highways for additional consultancy capacity to help deliver an implementation programme through a revised approach. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability across business readiness, deployment support, go-live planning and hypercare, alongside project management consultancy experience in technology implementation. The buyer’s rationale highlights the value of retaining project knowledge and avoiding duplicated effort and delivery risk, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate continuity of expertise, rapid integration with an established programme and a record of supporting implementation through launch and early operation. The contract is an uplift to an incumbent’s support rather than a change in scope, showing that suppliers able to scale delivery within an existing programme context may be well placed when comparable support is next procured.
