## Summary

National Highways Limited procured scaffolding and oversailing licences for the M5 St Georges Overbridge. The requirement is categorised as works and includes scaffolding work associated with the overbridge. Delivery is at the M5 St Georges Overbridge in England. The buyer is National Highways Limited, a central government public authority based in Birmingham. The selected supplier is Network Rail, indicating that the requirement involved activity at or affecting rail infrastructure as well as a National Highways asset. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing scaffolding works and managing the permissions, controls or access arrangements needed when temporary structures oversail transport infrastructure. It is focused on one named overbridge rather than a broad, multi-site scaffolding programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Network Rail was awarded the requirement on 18 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £210,207.31 excluding VAT, or £252,248.77 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot for the scaffolding and oversailing licences at the M5 St Georges Overbridge. The contract remains active for the stated period, and the award is recorded as active. No competitive tender took place: the buyer used a direct award route for this below-threshold requirement. The contracting process was evaluated and concluded through that procurement route.

This award provides evidence of a defined National Highways requirement for scaffolding and oversailing licences at a major road overbridge, with a rail infrastructure organisation selected to deliver it. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer should be able to provide scaffolding works and handle the associated oversailing licence arrangements for transport infrastructure. Credibility would be strengthened by a demonstrable ability to coordinate safely around an operational highway structure and rail-related assets, manage access and interface risks, and deliver a short, site-specific works package. The procurement also shows that this type of requirement can be handled through a direct below-threshold route without competition, so firms should monitor National Highways requirements and maintain clear organisational and delivery information for future engagement.
