## Summary

The public procurement process titled "ORT0190C - Signs and Signals" has been completed by National Highways, a government organisation based in Guildford, England. This contract was aimed at procuring variable message signs in the road signs category for the financial year 2025/26, and was executed through a call-off from a framework agreement. Though it is primarily focused on the United Kingdom, the distribution covers a broad region, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, and worldwide locations. The tender, valued at £550,000, reached its award stage on 15th July 2025, with the contract period set from 16th July 2025 to 31st December 2025. The procurement method employed was selective, aiming to cater to specific requirements within the sector.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of road signs, signalling equipment, and related technologies. Although the tender was not explicitly aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, companies of a similar size to Colas Ltd, the awarded supplier, would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. Engaging in such contracts allows businesses to strengthen their market position by associating with a notable buyer like National Highways and gaining a foothold in public sector projects extending across various geographic locations.
