## Summary

National Highways Limited procured specialist technical consultancy to support delivery of the Growth and Housing Accelerator Fund. The £165 million programme is intended to unlock stalled housing and employment developments delayed by funding gaps and the need to keep the strategic road network safe and fit for purpose. The work covers assessing and prioritising schemes, developing business cases, managing risks and overseeing delivery. Supported infrastructure may include junction improvements and new road links, with the aim of ensuring projects are planned and delivered safely, on time and within budget. The service is classified as development consultancy and is a services requirement. Delivery spans the United Kingdom and the listed overseas and international locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 19:00. National Highways Limited awarded the work to WSP UK Ltd - SPaTS 1 on 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £2,456,657.12 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 March 2031. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation by voluntary, community and social enterprises was not indicated as suitable. The requirement is a single work order for technical support to the accelerator fund, with the procurement using a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for specialist programme and development consultancy supporting infrastructure linked to housing and employment growth. A credible future supplier would need capability to assess and prioritise transport schemes, develop robust business cases, manage delivery risks and oversee infrastructure projects through to completion. Experience of strategic road network requirements, junction improvements or new links, traffic growth, road safety and the relationship between transport investment and development would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to control delivery against programme, cost and safety objectives and work within a framework call-off route. The buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist smaller consultancy with the necessary technical, commercial and programme-management capacity may be well placed to compete when comparable work returns.

## Notice

This work order will enable National Highways to bring in specialist technical support to deliver the Growth and Housing Accelerator Fund, a PS165 million programme designed to unlock stalled housing and employment developments that are currently delayed due to funding gaps and the need to ensure the strategic road network remains safe and fit for purpose. Without this support, there is a risk that essential infrastructure upgrades (such as junction improvements or new links) are not properly planned or delivered in time, which could lead to increased traffic pressures, safety concerns, and continued delays to much needed homes and jobs. The work involves assessing and prioritising schemes, building strong business cases, managing risks, and overseeing delivery to ensure projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget through to 2031. Given the scale of investment, the government's housing targets, and the safety implications of unmanaged traffic growth, appointing this capability is both urgent and essential to ensure the programme delivers value and prevents wider operational and safety issues across the network.
