## Summary

National Highways Limited procured highway surface works for the A31 westbound carriageway near Minstead. The requirement falls within road and highway construction works, specifically surface work for highways (CPV 45233210). Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom, with the tender record also listing overseas and European delivery locations. The named buyer is National Highways Limited, the company responsible for the strategic road network in England. This is a works requirement rather than a supply-only or general services contract, and would suit contractors involved in carriageway surfacing, pavement renewal, highway maintenance or related road construction activities. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Heidelberg Materials was selected by National Highways Limited on 19 August 2026 for the full stated requirement. The awarded value is £559,427.95 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process, with the requirement classified as highway surface works. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. There is one stated requirement rather than a set of separately awarded lots.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for specialist carriageway surface work on a strategically important A-road. Businesses considering future work of this type would need practical capability in highway surfacing and pavement construction, together with the plant, materials, site management and workforce capacity to deliver a substantial roadworks package safely and efficiently. Credibility would also depend on experience of working on live or strategically important highway infrastructure, managing traffic and temporary works, and meeting National Highways’ quality, safety and environmental expectations. The requirement’s suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller specialist contractors may be able to compete, either independently where they have sufficient capacity or through an appropriate framework route and delivery partnership.
