## Summary

National Highways, based in Birmingham, is overseeing the procurement process for the project titled "S30019 Future development of the DMRB and MCHW including alignment with the second generation of Eurocodes." The procurement falls under the industry category of Development consultancy services (CPV code 73220000). The procurement process is at the Award stage, with the award decision being made on 20th November 2025. The contract, beginning on 21st November 2025 and concluding on 30th April 2028, aims to provide specialist technical support to align UK standards with the new Eurocodes. This project has a value of £509,626.74 and involves locations such as the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in technical consultancy services in the construction and infrastructure sectors. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the procurement's suitability criteria. The contract was awarded to WSP UK Limited, indicating opportunities for large-scale consultancies with experience in framework agreements. Organisations involved in infrastructure standards, code compliance, or related advisory services may find this tender especially relevant to their expertise and capable of leveraging this opportunity to expand their portfolio and industry influence.

## Notice

Specialist technical support is required to ensure that the DMRB and MCHW can be aligned with the second generation Eurocodes, prior to withdrawal of first generation of Eurocodes by March 2028. This will ensure a smooth transition with no conflicts or inconsistencies on 31 March 2028 when the second generation Eurocodes are implemented. There is a need for support for National Highways Structures Group to undertake a review of the Second Generation Eurocodes and advice on the changes that may be required for the UK National Annexes. It is expected that this will include liaising with the external consultant/colleagues on various UK Standards committees. This will be followed by liaising with NH document owners to ensure changes to DMRB and MCHW are published at the same time when the switch to the second-generation Eurocodes takes place in March 2028.
