## Summary

National Highways Limited procured works for the HRE - RWR/61 Berwickshire Branch requirement at Leaderfoot Viaduct. The procurement concerns railway maintenance or service vehicles and railway freight wagons, classified under CPV 34621000. It is a works requirement rather than a general goods supply, although the subject matter centres on equipment used for railway maintenance, servicing and freight operations. Delivery locations are described broadly as the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while it was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd on 10 September 2026 for £38,186, and the contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission period ended on 10 September 2026. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The contract value is £38,186 including the stated GBP currency. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for SMEs. The procurement was for works relating to the Berwickshire Branch and Leaderfoot Viaduct, with the award covering the full stated requirement rather than separate published lots.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award provides a clear indication of National Highways’ demand for railway-related works connected with the Berwickshire Branch and Leaderfoot Viaduct. A credible future competitor would need to deliver railway maintenance or service vehicles, railway freight wagons, or associated works at the required operational standard, and understand how to work through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. The buyer’s classification of the requirement as works, alongside its SME suitability assessment, indicates that capable smaller firms may be commercially relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary technical delivery capacity. Relevant experience in railway maintenance environments, equipment supply or infrastructure-related delivery would strengthen a supplier’s position when a comparable requirement returns.
