Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned project management consultancy and Portfolio, Programme and Project Management (P3M) advisory and facilitative services for its Digital Services function. The work supports organisation-wide prioritisation, quarterly planning and capacity management. It also covers completing the Operating Model work and continuing to embed the Quarterly Portfolio Prioritisation process and its associated ways of working. This is an extension of an existing service contract, rather than a separate new programme of work. Delivery is for National Highways Digital Services in the United Kingdom.

The contract has been awarded to PA Consulting Services Ltd and PA Consulting Ltd. It is an active contract, signed on 17 September 2026, with an awarded value of £1,788,765. The extension runs to 31 March 2027 and adds six months to the existing contract. The stated reason for extending with the original contractor is that changing supplier would cause significant disruption and duplicate costs while the Operating Model work is completed and the Quarterly Portfolio Prioritisation process is embedded. The procurement is for a single lot of project management consultancy services. The published process data does not set out a separate evaluation basis or procurement method.

This award shows demand at National Highways for integrated P3M advice and facilitation within a digital services organisation, particularly for enterprise-level prioritisation, quarterly portfolio planning and capacity management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to work across portfolio, programme and project management, support operating-model change, and establish repeatable planning and prioritisation practices that become part of the client’s normal ways of working. The extension rationale also highlights the value of continuity: a supplier would need to manage transition carefully, avoid duplicating work, and retain organisational knowledge while completing change already under way. The scale and breadth of the requirement point towards suppliers able to provide sustained, senior consultancy support across several connected management disciplines.
