## Summary

National Highways Limited has completed a public procurement process to acquire a NEC contract management system for the Lower Thames Crossing, classified under the 'Contact management software package' category. The procurement, which falls under the 'goods' industry category, was a 'limited' procedure, leading to the award of the contract without a prior publication due to technical interoperability requirements, with the process culminating in the awarding stage on 19th June 2026. The contract, worth GBP 1,092,650, was granted to Thinkproject Uk Limited, and the intended location for the service delivery is the United Kingdom. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) and conducted outside the scope of the European Union directive application.

The procurement offers significant opportunities for firms specialising in software as a service (SaaS), particularly those with expertise in managing NEC contracts. Although the competition was limited due to the bespoke nature of the requirements, businesses looking to develop capabilities in complex infrastructure project management and integration could find similar procurements compelling. Companies with strong technical solutions that align with national infrastructure projects would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders, provided they can demonstrate compatibility and the ability to minimise operational disruptions.
