Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned environmental improvement work for the Glenderamackin catchment. The work is intended to help the roads authority develop advice and guidance on using nature-based solutions (NBS) within a decision-making framework for incidents involving poor water quality and flood risk. It also supports National Highways’ environmental sustainability commitments and its development of partnership working to deliver projects at catchment scale. The requirement is classified as environmental improvement works. The named buying organisation is National Highways Limited. The procurement title identifies Glenderamackin, but the published details do not give a more specific delivery address or place name.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to West Cumbria Rivers Consultancy Limited. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 29 September 2031. Its stated gross value is £18,860,616. The award covers one lot, and the supplier is recorded as an SME. No award date or separate evaluation criteria are stated. This was therefore a non-competitive award, rather than a process in which bidders were assessed against published criteria; the selected supplier and contract value are the recorded outcome.

For suppliers interested in future work of this kind for National Highways, the awarded requirement demonstrates demand for environmental improvement focused on catchment-scale water quality and flood-risk challenges. A credible competitor would need practical capability in nature-based solutions and the ability to advise on how those solutions can inform decisions about incidents. Experience working across catchments and collaborating with partners to deliver projects at that scale would also be relevant. The scope combines environmental outcomes with development of the buyer’s guidance and partnership approach, so suppliers able to connect technical environmental expertise with collaborative delivery would be well placed to demonstrate fit. The award was made directly without competition, so it does not provide evidence of competitive evaluation criteria or specific qualifications.
