## Summary

National Highways Limited bought development consultancy services described as procurement support. The requirement is associated with the buyer’s procurement activities and is delivered across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The scope is recorded under CPV 73220000, covering development consultancy services. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buyer is based in Birmingham, England. The geographic coverage means that relevant suppliers may need to support National Highways across several jurisdictions and locations, including work in the UK and internationally. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 30 November 2025 at 19:00. The contract was awarded on 1 December 2025 to GARDINER & THEOBALD LLP for £431,600. The contract period runs from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2026. The award is active. The published evaluation basis is the procurement requirement itself, described as procurement support and development consultancy services. This was a single call-off requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The process therefore shows the route used by National Highways to appoint consultancy support through its existing framework.

This award is evidence that National Highways uses framework call-offs to buy procurement support and development consultancy services. Competitors considering similar work for this buyer would need to provide credible consultancy capability relevant to procurement support, together with the capacity to operate across the broad geographic area covered by the requirement. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that National Highways accepted a provider with substantial organisational capacity for this engagement. However, the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller or mission-led consultancies may also be relevant where they can demonstrate the required professional capability, delivery capacity and framework access. Experience of public-sector procurement environments and the ability to support National Highways’ requirements would strengthen a future competing offer.
