## Summary

National Highways Limited procured specialist legal advisory services for drafting and reviewing Statutory Instruments to Parliamentary standards, alongside ad hoc legal drafting advice on complex Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders. The work supports National Highways’ Legal Services function while its in-house capability develops following recent personnel changes. This is a legal services requirement focused on statutory instruments, traffic regulation orders and related drafting advice, rather than general legal support. The awarded supplier is TLT LLP, a large UK legal practice based in Bristol. The work is for National Highways, whose address is in Birmingham, and relates to the organisation’s highways responsibilities across England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TLT LLP. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and was organised as one lot. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2028. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The award covers legal advisory services. The requirement was temporary, supporting the drafting and review of Statutory Instruments and complex Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders while National Highways develops its internal capability. The process therefore records a completed, non-competitive route to a two-year specialist legal services contract.

For a supplier assessing future demand from National Highways, this procurement indicates a need for specialist public law and highways regulatory capability. Relevant firms would need to draft and review Statutory Instruments to Parliamentary standards, provide sound advice on complex Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders, and respond to ad hoc drafting requirements. Credibility would depend on demonstrable experience with statutory instruments, traffic regulation procedures and the legal framework affecting highways operations, supported by lawyers able to produce Parliamentary-quality drafting. The requirement also shows value in combining technical legal expertise with practical capacity to support a public-sector legal team during periods of changing staffing and developing in-house capability.
