The contract was awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd - SPaTS as part of a selective procurement process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement relates to the performance of mandatory annual audits for ISO 55001 asset management certification maintenance, critical for compliance and operational efficacy between 2026 and 2028. The contract, valued at £178,546.45, commenced on 19th June 2026 and is due to complete on 31st August 2028, with services extending across multiple geographic locations including the United Kingdom and further afield. This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly benefiting small to medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in auditing and consultancy services who are capable of providing thorough and critical appraisals that ensure regulatory compliance and management control over public infrastructure projects. The potential to partake in such evaluations, conducted over a three-year period, could add considerable prestige and experience within the consultancy market, allowing for expansion or heightened market positioning. Companies demonstrating expertise in asset management certification processes and reporting would be particularly suited to compete for similar opportunities. ## Notice This work order is to appoint an independent specialist to carry out the mandatory annual audits needed to keep the company's ISO 55001 asset management certification in place between 2026 and 2028. Holding this certification is a requirement of our operating licence and demonstrates to regulators, government and the public that we manage and maintain our road assets in a safe, controlled and long term manner. If these audits are not completed on time, the organisation risks losing certification, which would undermine regulatory compliance, weaken assurance over asset safety and performance, and expose the business to reputational and operational risk. The work includes one surveillance audit in 2026, a full recertification audit in 2027 against the latest standard, and a further surveillance audit in 2028, each producing clear reports and executive summaries highlighting risks, compliance gaps and improvement actions. This programme is therefore both time critical and business critical, providing independent assurance that our asset management system remains effective, compliant and focused on managing safety, performance and value for money across the network. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ff6cd595-db03-49f1-84c1-08ab2ee11cce | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 18 Jun 2026 - 31 Aug 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £178,546 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £178,546 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL HIGHWAYS LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 6GA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LTD - SPATS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73220000 - Development consultancy services ## Release History - 26 Jun 2026 at 10:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ff6cd595-db03-49f1-84c1-08ab2ee11cce ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ff6cd595-db03-49f1-84c1-08ab2ee11cce 26th June 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/459eefde-0f48-4835-be99-8d63a5905888 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
