UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured Network Rail’s Basic Asset Protection Agreement services to support resurfacing of the A49 at Onibury, next to an operational level crossing. The work covers technical reviews, management of railway possessions and safety supervision for the road resurfacing, road markings and high-friction surfacing. This is specialist railway interface and asset-protection support for highway works close to an active railway crossing. The delivery location is Onibury, Shropshire. The requirement sits within railway transport support services, with Network Rail providing the railway-side expertise and oversight needed to coordinate work safely alongside railway operations.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Network Rail, and the contract is active. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 1 April 2027. Its value is £10,974.55 excluding VAT, or £13,169.46 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The published outcome identifies the supplier and the service scope; no separate award evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers hoping to compete if National Highways buys this requirement again, credibility would depend on being able to provide railway asset-protection expertise for highway works beside an operational level crossing. Relevant capabilities include technical review of proposed works, coordinating railway possessions and providing safety supervision while resurfacing, road markings and high-friction surfacing are carried out. Experience working alongside live railway operations and coordinating between highway and rail activities would be directly relevant. The selected supplier was Network Rail, indicating that the buyer’s requirement involves specialist railway knowledge and access to railway operational processes, rather than road surfacing delivery alone. Suppliers would need to demonstrate that they can manage this interface safely and support the highway works within the project’s defined scope.
