## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned railway maintenance or service vehicle work for the route identified as Welwyn Garden, Hertford East and Port Hill. The procurement is classified as works and concerns railway maintenance or service vehicles, although the published description does not explain the specific tasks or equipment involved. Delivery locations are listed broadly across the United Kingdom and several other territories and areas, rather than being confined to one named site. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The route reference may help suppliers identify the relevant railway locations, but the scope beyond that route title is not described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to MGroup through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 13 October 2026. MGroup was awarded £33,120.26, with the contract period running from 13 to 16 October 2026. The original estimated procurement value was also £33,120.26. The tender deadline was 13 October 2026. The procurement was classified as works, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

This award shows National Highways buying a small, short-duration package of railway maintenance or service vehicle work, tied to the Welwyn Garden, Hertford East and Port Hill route. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate that it can deliver the relevant railway vehicle work safely and efficiently across the stated route locations, and operate within a framework call-off arrangement. The published scope does not identify particular vehicle types, maintenance tasks, technical standards or accreditations, so suppliers should not infer requirements beyond railway maintenance or service vehicle capability. SMEs were considered suitable, indicating that the buyer’s procurement approach can accommodate smaller firms for this kind of requirement. MGroup, a large supplier, was selected for this contract.
