## Summary

National Highways Limited intends to procure diversionary works for the Lower Thames Crossing project. The requirement is a works contract covering primary works associated with services, described under CPV 45111290. Diversionary works typically support the relocation, protection or alteration of existing services needed for construction, although the procurement description only identifies the requirement at this level. The work will be delivered in connection with the Lower Thames Crossing project. National Highways Limited is the buying organisation and is a central government public authority. This procurement is therefore relevant to contractors with experience delivering utility or infrastructure diversion works for major transport projects, particularly where work must be coordinated with a large-scale road development. The requirement is classified as works rather than goods or general services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: National Highways Limited has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The expected procedure is a direct award. The planned procurement is above the relevant threshold and is divided into one planned lot. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 25 September 2026. The planned contract period runs from 30 October 2026 to 30 November 2030. No contract value or budget is stated. The procurement is titled “LTC - SGN Diversionary Works Agreement Contract”. Suppliers should treat the dates as the buyer’s current expectations rather than response deadlines. The process is governed by the Procurement Act 2023.

The requirement will suit contractors that can deliver diversionary works connected with a major road infrastructure project and coordinate service-related construction activities with the Lower Thames Crossing programme. Relevant businesses are likely to include firms experienced in utility diversions, service protection, enabling works and infrastructure construction, particularly those able to manage work over a multi-year contract period. The stated scope gives an early indication that practical delivery capability in primary works for services will be important. Businesses in this field can use the planning stage to assess their ability to support National Highways and to prepare evidence of comparable diversionary or transport-infrastructure work. The planned direct-award route means the procurement may not develop into an open competition for all suppliers.
