## Summary

National Highways Limited procured communications advice, classified as public relations consultancy services (CPV 79416200). The requirement is for communication advice as a professional service, supporting the buyer’s communications needs. The contracting organisation is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham, England. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. This is a wide geographic remit rather than a location-specific assignment, so relevant suppliers would need to support communications activity across multiple territories. The procurement is categorised as services and relates to advisory work rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways used a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold, rather than an open competition. The award was made to Moxy Communications Ltd on 17 August 2026 for £120,000 (GBP). The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 14:00. The contract is a single requirement for communications advice, with no lots identified. The published suitability assessment marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award is a useful indicator of National Highways’ need for external public relations consultancy and communications advice across a broad geographic area. A future competitor would need to present as an established communications consultancy capable of advising a major national infrastructure organisation and supporting work spanning the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other international locations. The selected supplier, Moxy Communications Ltd, is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement’s suitability assessment excluded SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses considering similar National Highways requirements should therefore assess whether their scale, corporate profile and communications consultancy capability match this buying route and the breadth of support required.
