## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned works under the HRE SAD/105 requirement for the Somerset and Dorset route between Bath and Templecombe, at Pecking Mill. The procurement is classified as railway maintenance or service vehicles and freight wagons, but the published title and description do not explain the specific work or equipment involved. National Highways is the buyer; the supplier is Hammond (ECS) Ltd. The requirement is associated with a rail corridor and named site, while the delivery-address entries span the United Kingdom and several wider geographic groupings. The named location gives a more useful indication of the work’s focus than those broad address entries. This is a works procurement, rather than a general purchase of rail vehicles.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hammond (ECS) Ltd. National Highways used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 16 October 2026, for £18,381. The contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement had an estimated value of £18,381, matching the awarded value. The submission deadline was 16 October 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, but not for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from National Highways at Pecking Mill on the Somerset and Dorset route, this award demonstrates a small, site-specific requirement delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need access to the relevant framework and the capability to deliver the railway maintenance or service-vehicle-related works described by the requirement. The published description does not clarify the precise work, so businesses should treat the railway classification and named route and site as indicators of the requirement, rather than assume a particular vehicle, repair or construction task. The recorded SME suitability suggests smaller firms could be relevant, while the successful supplier was classed as large. Relevant rail-sector delivery experience and the operational capacity to carry out focused works at the named site would help establish credibility.
