## Summary

National Highways Limited procured works for the Llangollen Canal Bridge on the Whitchurch-to-Welshpool route. The recorded classification is railway maintenance or service vehicles and freight wagons, although the procurement title identifies the bridge works and no further technical scope is described. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The item’s delivery locations are listed broadly, including the United Kingdom and several international areas, rather than identifying a specific worksite. This requirement is therefore most relevant to firms able to undertake the bridge-related works on this route; the data does not describe the work activities, materials or engineering specifications in more detail.

The procurement is complete and Hammond (ECS) Ltd was selected for the contract. The award was made on 6 October 2026, at a value of £16,458.60. The contract period runs from 6 October to 30 October 2026. The buyer used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s stated estimated value was also £16,458.60. No separate lots are recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The release provides no evaluation criteria or scoring basis, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be summarised beyond the framework call-off route.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows National Highways buying a short, defined package of bridge-related works on the Llangollen Canal route through a framework call-off. The requirement was valued at a modest scale, and the buyer marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that this type of work need not be confined to the largest contractors. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the practical ability to carry out the relevant bridge works on this route and meet the requirements of the applicable framework. The procurement data does not detail specific engineering skills, accreditations, staffing levels or equipment, so it does not support a more precise profile of the winning supplier’s technical capabilities.
