## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned development consultancy services to extend the useful life of its existing assets and increase the benefits they deliver. The work covers identifying and analysing asset performance where service life has been reduced by poor quality, developing case studies to demonstrate the resulting benefits, and creating improvement projects for selected assets. The intended outcomes are lower whole-life costs, reduced maintenance and renewal, lower carbon emissions, improved health and safety, more efficient delivery and less disruption for customers. This is a services requirement that may be delivered across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 to AtkinsRéalis Jacobs Joint Venture. National Highways Limited used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract value is £48,121.44. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender closing deadline was 29 June 2026 at 7pm. The requirement was classified as development consultancy services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with the contracted work covering asset analysis, benefits case studies and improvement projects.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for specialist consultancy that links asset performance with service life, whole-life cost, carbon, safety, delivery efficiency and customer disruption. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need credible capability in analysing infrastructure or other asset data, diagnosing causes of reduced service life, and turning findings into practical improvement interventions. Evidence-led case-study development is important, including the ability to measure and explain benefits in a repeatable way. Strong candidates would combine technical asset expertise with programme, sustainability and risk-management skills, and be able to produce clear recommendations that support investment decisions. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier was a large joint venture.

## Notice

"National Highways recognises the importance of asset service life and the risks associated with premature maintenance and renewal, which can increase costs, environmental impacts, and health and safety risks due to additional exposure from unplanned maintenance or early renewal works. By identifying assets with significantly reduced service life due to poor quality, and implementing targeted improvement activities this work will reduce or eliminate unnecessary additional maintenance and renewal. This directly supports the Net Zero Plan by lower carbon emission, reducing safety risks, improving delivery efficiency, and minimising disruption to customers. Developing case studies ensures benefits are understood, proven, and repeatable, while developed improvement projects will support lower cost interventions with clear safety, carbon, delivery, and customer benefits. Overall, the approach reduces whole life costs, minimises risk and disruption, and maximises the value derived from existing assets. The activities are: - Support in identifying and analysing the performance of assets to increase or maintain service life, and the benefits of that. - Develop Case Studies to understand the benefits - Develop Improvement Projects for identified assets"
