## Summary

National Highways Limited has awarded a contract for "S30097 Product Supplier Assurance Support Services (Phase 2 2026/27)" to Arcadis, a large-scale firm, effective from 14th April 2026 to 31st March 2027. This procurement falls under the industry category of development consultancy services, with a specific focus on roadside technology equipment for the renewals technology programme across various regions including the United Kingdom and beyond. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. This process reached the award stage on 13th April 2026, with a contract value of £199,962.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in roadside technology, particularly those providing supplier assurance support services. SMEs might find it beneficial to leverage this opportunity as the procurement process is supportive of small business participation. As the contract focuses on guiding product suppliers through a qualification process, businesses centered around consultancy and assurance in technology acceptance, especially those with expertise in PAC approval, stand to gain considerable business growth and diversification through this project.

## Notice

Supplier Assurance Support Services for Operations. National Highways is in the process of procuring equipment suppliers to provide the roadside technology equipment to support the renewals technology programme for the next 6 years, covering Interim Settlement and RIS3. Given the scale and number of new equipment suppliers and/or number of new product specifications tendered against, there will be a larger than normal set of suppliers required to complete the National Highways Product Acceptance process (known as 'PAC approval'). This contract will deliver a Product Supplier Assurance Support service which will provide roadside technology expertise to guide product suppliers through the process to secure product build standard qualification. The outcome of this support should be the de-risking of product acceptance programmes so that equipment is assured and ready for purchase as early as possible. This support is essential to the successful delivery of the forward programme.
