## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned highway pavement and drainage risk-reduction works on the A458 between Shrewsbury and the Welsh border. The requirement is classified as highway surface works and concerns improving or managing risks associated with the road pavement and drainage. The named route identifies the work corridor; the delivery location is not stated more precisely. This is a works requirement rather than a supply contract, with National Highways as the buying organisation. The procurement was made through a framework call-off, so the requirement was placed under an existing framework rather than run as a standalone open competition. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for the opportunity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to FM Conway Ltd. The award was made on 11 September 2026, following a selective framework call-off. The stated award value is £2,416,216.12. The contract period runs from 12 September 2026 to 26 February 2027. The competition deadline was 11 September 2026 at noon. The procurement is presented as a single route-based requirement, with no separate lots described. The evaluation basis and any specific eligibility requirements are not set out in the available process details; the published information supports only that the contract was awarded through the framework call-off route and that SMEs were considered suitable.

For firms that did not win, this award shows that National Highways purchases targeted pavement and drainage risk-reduction works on the A458 through framework call-offs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver highway surfacing and drainage works together, coordinate safely on an operational strategic road, and mobilise for a defined route corridor. The selected supplier is FM Conway Ltd, providing evidence that a large highways contractor secured this package; however, the procurement also marked the work as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms with the relevant roadworks capability may be well placed to compete, including as framework suppliers or delivery partners. Experience managing pavement condition and drainage risks on comparable highways would be relevant to demonstrating capability for this buyer’s requirement.
