## Summary

National Highways Limited procured enforcement of temporary TASCAR speed limits at M5 Junction 26. The requirement concerns speed-limiting equipment, classified as speed limiters, for managing temporary restrictions on this motorway junction. The purpose is to support enforcement of temporary speed limits associated with the TASCAR arrangement. The work involves National Highways as the public-sector buyer and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset as the appointed supplier. It is therefore relevant to organisations supplying speed-control or speed-enforcement equipment for motorway and temporary road-management operations, particularly those able to work across the interface between a strategic road operator and a policing organisation. The location identified for the requirement is M5 Junction 26.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to The Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset. The award is active, with a contract value of £72,897 excluding VAT and £87,476.40 including VAT. The contract was signed on 12 May 2026 and runs from 12 May 2026 to 31 December 2026. The awarded requirement is classified as speed limiters. The recorded outcome shows a single supplier and a single contract for enforcement of temporary TASCAR speed limits at M5 Junction 26. This is an awarded public-sector requirement rather than an opportunity currently seeking competing bids.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is useful evidence of a defined requirement for temporary speed-limit enforcement at a strategic motorway location. Competitors preparing for comparable work with National Highways should be able to provide reliable speed-limiting equipment suitable for temporary restrictions and support its use in an enforcement setting. Credibility would also depend on understanding motorway operations, temporary traffic-management arrangements and the practical requirements of working with a policing body. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct award indicates a relatively focused requirement, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a responsive delivery model and a clear fit with a specific road location rather than only broad general equipment capability.
