## Summary

National Highways Limited procured works associated with the Mythe Tunnel on the Ashchurch and Malvern Branch. The requirement falls within railway maintenance and service vehicle work, including railway freight wagon-related activity, under CPV 34621000. The named location is the Mythe Tunnel and the Ashchurch and Malvern Branch. The procurement is classified as works and covers delivery in the United Kingdom, as well as the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to contractors working on railway infrastructure, tunnel-related works or the provision and use of railway maintenance vehicles and freight wagons for National Highways projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 21 August 2026. The awarded contract went to MGroup on 20 August 2026 for £59,965.45. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 3 September 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £59,965.45. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and MGroup is the selected supplier. The procurement concerns a single requirement described as Ashchurch and Malvern Branch – Mythe Tunnel; the published information does not identify separate lots or a separate evaluation weighting.

This award is evidence that National Highways uses a framework call-off route for focused railway and tunnel-related works at a defined site. A credible future competitor would need to understand framework call-off procedures, mobilise quickly for short-duration assignments and demonstrate capability relevant to railway maintenance and service vehicles, freight wagons or associated infrastructure works. Experience operating safely around railway assets and tunnel environments would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to deliver a discrete requirement for National Highways without relying on a large project team. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist contractors can be relevant, provided they have the technical resources, operational controls and framework access needed for this type of work.
