## Summary

The procurement process led by National Highways Limited focused on the "A50 Queensway Rail Possession – Principal Bridge Inspection" project within the railway services industry. The project took place in Birmingham, United Kingdom, with services needed for the principal bridge inspection of the A50 Queensway Rail Viaduct. The procurement stage is at the contract award phase, completed and signed on 3rd June 2026. This procurement was executed through a direct method, without competition, as it was below the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in railway transport support services. Given its focus on network rail asset protection and railway access services, businesses skilled in possession planning, safety supervision, and project management related to railway infrastructure stand to gain.
