## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned specialist consultancy services to develop an investment pipeline for transport interventions. The work combines two linked projects: a multi-modal corridor investment study addressing recurrent delay on the Strategic Road Network, and development of an active travel investment pipeline. Consultants were required to identify, appraise and prioritise interventions, develop a full five-case business case for priority corridor schemes, and use National Highways’ Active Travel Investment Dashboard and wider evidence. The outputs support future funding and delivery decisions, with recommendations intended to improve network performance, travel choice, safety, connectivity and integration with wider transport networks. The work is classed as development consultancy services and is to be delivered across the United Kingdom, Europe and other listed locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 August 2026 to Amey OW Ltd. The award value was £149,925.01 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. It followed a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 22 July 2026 at 19:00. The estimated procurement value was £225,000. National Highways Limited identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is listed with active award status. The commission covers both the corridor investment study and active travel pipeline development as one overall delivery piece, separated into those two interrelated workstreams.

For suppliers assessing future National Highways opportunities, this award demonstrates demand for specialist transport investment consultancy combining strategic road-network analysis with active travel planning. Credible competitors would need to undertake robust, data-led appraisal of corridor locations, identify realistic multi-modal and active travel interventions, and create defensible prioritisation methods. Relevant capability includes developing business cases to the five-case model, producing evidence-based investment pipelines, using tools such as the Active Travel Investment Dashboard, and translating analysis into schemes that can be funded and delivered. Experience of stakeholder engagement with local and regional transport partners would be important, alongside the ability to assess network performance, customer choice, safety, connectivity and integration with wider transport networks. The buyer has shown that this requirement can be delivered through a framework call-off and is suitable for SMEs.

## Notice

The commission is to cover the delivery of two projects that fall under one overall delivery piece, the commission is therefore separated into the two distinct projects: - - SRN Delay: multi-modal corridor investment study - Active Travel pipeline development Specialist consultants are required to develop a robust pipeline of multi-modal and active travel interventions that support National Highways' strategic objective of reducing recurrent delay on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) through provision of realistic travel choices. The commission comprises two interrelated workstreams: (1) a Corridor Investment Study to identify, appraise, shortlist and develop a full five-case business case for priority corridor interventions deliverable within the RIS3 period, and (2) Active Travel Pipeline Development to identify and prioritise future active travel investment opportunities using National Highways' Active Travel Investment Dashboard and wider evidence base. The consultants will undertake data-led appraisal of identified corridor locations, stakeholder engagement with local and regional partners, development of prioritisation methodologies, and recommendation of investable interventions that improve network performance, customer choice, safety, connectivity and integration with wider transport networks. The output will provide National Highways with a prioritised, evidence-based investment pipeline and business cases to support future funding and delivery decisions.
