## Summary

National Highways Limited bought installation of a tapered crash cushion on the northbound on-slip at M5 Junction 25. This is a road safety and slip-road construction requirement, intended to provide impact protection on the slip road. The work is located at M5 Junction 25 in Somerset, in the South West of England. The scope described is the installation of the crash cushion; the procurement is categorised as services. National Highways Limited is the buyer. This requirement is specific to a motorway junction and involves work on a live-road asset, so it is most relevant to suppliers equipped to deliver highway safety installations and associated roadworks for a national roads operator.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Somerset Council on 23 October 2026. The awarded value is £50,459.35. The contract period runs from 23 October to 31 December 2026. National Highways used a competitive quotation procedure below the applicable threshold, with a limited procurement method. The stated submission deadline was 22 October 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown or specific evaluation weighting is recorded in the process details, so the published outcome establishes the selected supplier and award value but does not set out a more detailed scoring basis.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that National Highways procures focused crash-cushion installation work at individual motorway junctions through competitive quotations below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in highway safety equipment installation and roadworks, together with the capacity to plan and complete work at a specific motorway location within a short delivery period. Experience working on or alongside operational roads, and the ability to meet the requirements of a national highways client, would be commercially relevant. The buyer’s stated SME suitability indicates that this scale of requirement can be relevant to smaller suppliers as well as larger contractors. The demonstrated scope is narrow: installation of a tapered crash cushion on a northbound slip road.
