## Summary

National Highways Limited has completed the procurement process for the project titled "S30089 Future Asphalt Surface Course Linking to NH Net Zero - Phase 4", classified under Development consultancy services. The procurement aimed to trial innovative low carbon road surfacing materials as part of a strategic push towards net zero emissions. The award phase of the procurement process was reached, with an awarded contract value of GBP 349,988.65. This selective procurement was a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to SPaTS Atkins and CH2M Joint Venture and is scheduled to commence on 1st June 2026, ending on 30th November 2027. The locations involved include the United Kingdom and other international territories.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses involved in sustainable infrastructure development and environmental consultancy, particularly those focusing on innovative asphalt technologies. With National Highways aiming to reduce highway construction emissions, companies equipped with expertise in low carbon solutions and who have the capacity to engage in sizeable consultancy projects, are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. While the contract is conducive to SME participation, it may especially benefit firms with a proven track record in delivering robust environmental and cost-effective solutions under technical oversight conditions.

## Notice

This work order supports National Highways' urgent push toward net zero by safely trialling and proving new low carbon road surfacing materials before they are used more widely on the network. It focuses on testing innovative asphalt technologies under real traffic conditions to make sure they are durable, safe, and deliver genuine carbon and whole life cost savings compared with traditional materials. The work is important because roads are a major source of construction emissions, and without evidence from properly monitored trials, we cannot confidently update standards or roll these solutions out at scale. There is also a time critical element, as trials must align with live maintenance schemes and suitable weather windows to avoid performance or safety risks. By using a cost reimbursable contract and strong technical oversight, the project manages risk while ensuring National Highways can make informed, safe decisions that protect road users and accelerate progress toward its 2040 net zero commitment.
