## Summary

National Highways Limited has recently completed a procurement process titled "Salary Benchmarking," focusing on business and management consultancy services. The process was classified under the CPV code 79400000, with the procurement method being a direct, single tender action below the threshold. The contract, valued at £44,445, will begin on 2nd February 2026, and conclude on 1st February 2030. This procurement involved locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with Korn Ferry being the awarded supplier as of 19th January 2026. 

This tender presents a significant opportunity for large-scale business and management consultancy firms who specialise in salary benchmarking to engage with a key governmental department. However, it was not deemed suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Given its wide-ranging geographic delivery addresses, companies with an international presence or capability will be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Potential competitors may look to build expertise and partnerships in these regions to enhance their bidding prospects against established players such as Korn Ferry.
