## Summary

National Highways Limited procured works under the requirement titled HRE - IMD/373 - Macduff - Inveramsay - Culsalmond - Turnpike. The scope is associated with railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, classified under CPV 34621000. The named locations are Macduff, Inveramsay, Culsalmond and Turnpike, with delivery coverage recorded across the United Kingdom and other locations. This is infrastructure-related work rather than a general supply contract, and is relevant to businesses involved in railway maintenance, railway service vehicles, freight wagons or associated works. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were excluded from the stated suitability category.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective procedure and made as a call-off from a framework agreement. Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd was awarded the contract by National Highways Limited for £93,175 including the stated currency of GBP. The award date was 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 September 2026. The procurement is categorised as works. The published information records the award and contract outcome, but does not set out a separate scoring model or award weighting. The contract has one named supplier and one overall requirement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need experience delivering railway-related infrastructure works connected with maintenance or service vehicles and freight wagons. They would also need to understand delivery across named route locations such as Macduff, Inveramsay, Culsalmond and Turnpike, and be able to coordinate works for a national infrastructure buyer. The framework call-off route indicates that suppliers need both the relevant technical capability and access to an appropriate framework arrangement. The relatively contained contract scale and stated SME suitability make this relevant to smaller civil engineering, rail infrastructure and specialist maintenance businesses, as well as larger contractors. Evidence of safe delivery, reliable mobilisation, route-based working and comparable railway projects would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next procures similar work.
