## Summary

National Highways Limited procured property management services for its Estates & Property Services function. The requirement was to maintain continuity of supplier payments and support the orderly close-down of the previous Estates & Property Services Contract. In practical terms, the work concerns managing real estate on a fee or contract basis, including the property-management activity needed during contract close-down and transition. The buyer is National Highways Limited, a central government public authority. The procurement is associated with National Highways’ operations in England, with the buyer based in Birmingham. This is a services requirement rather than a construction or goods-supply opportunity, and is relevant to firms experienced in estates, property and real-estate management for public-sector or similarly complex organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The recorded rationale was an urgent business need for continuity of supplier payments, protection of the supply chain and minimisation of operational disruption while the previous contract was closed down. Savills PLC was selected as supplier. The award value is £180,000 excluding VAT, or £216,000 including VAT, in GBP. The award is above the applicable threshold and covers one completed lot. The award outcome was recorded on 24 August 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 November 2026. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 31 August 2026, and the award status is pending.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for short-term property-management support during contract close-down, with continuity of payments and supply-chain relationships treated as critical outcomes. A credible future competitor would need to manage real-estate services under time pressure, maintain accurate and dependable supplier-payment processes, and support an orderly transition from an existing estates contract. Experience of closing down or transitioning property-service arrangements would be directly relevant, as would the operational capacity to avoid disruption across a public-sector estate. Firms should be able to coordinate incumbent and replacement arrangements, manage stakeholders and suppliers, and provide controlled delivery when an urgent business need arises. The buyer’s direct-award route also indicates the importance of demonstrating continuity and resilience.
