## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned ground investigation and geotechnical engineering services for the M606 Bradford Link Four Span scheme. The work covers borehole drilling, sampling, laboratory testing and factual reporting. This is a specialist engineering services requirement supporting investigation of ground conditions for the road scheme. The procurement describes delivery in the South East and South West of England, while the scheme itself is identified as the M606 Bradford Link. The requirement was managed by National Highways, the public body responsible for the project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Van Elle. National Highways used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 7 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 12 February 2027. The awarded contract value is £199,905.90. The tender deadline was 6 October 2026. The procurement is for one overall requirement rather than separately described lots. The published information identifies the requirement and the selected supplier but does not set out detailed evaluation criteria or specific eligibility thresholds.

This award shows National Highways buying a focused package of ground investigation and geotechnical engineering for a major-road scheme, rather than general construction services. A credible competitor for similar work would need to deliver borehole drilling and sampling safely and reliably, arrange suitable laboratory testing, and provide accurate factual reporting that supports engineering decisions. The requirement suits an established specialist able to coordinate field investigation and testing as a single service package and meet the operational demands of work associated with a strategic road. The award was made through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable National Highways work would need access to the relevant framework route as well as the technical capability to deliver the full investigation scope.
