## Summary

National Highways Limited procured specialist animation and motion graphics services for the Lower Thames Crossing, a nationally significant road infrastructure project. The requirement covers planning and producing high-quality visual content for the project’s communications activities, including engaging animations and motion graphics to explain its information, plans, ambitions and progress. The supplier works with the Communications Team to deliver visual content for different audiences across multiple platforms. The work supports communications about a major investment in the UK road network, including its transport, economic, environmental, jobs and skills objectives. The service category is marketing services. Delivery relates to the Lower Thames Crossing and the wider United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot. It used a below-threshold limited competition. Fred & Eric Ltd was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with an option to extend for one year to 30 June 2028. Its value is £130,000 excluding VAT, or £156,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation details are not stated in the available outcome. The requirement was below the applicable threshold.

This procurement indicates demand from National Highways for a specialist visual communications partner able to produce animation and motion graphics for a complex, high-profile infrastructure programme. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate strong creative and production capability, including planning content, managing delivery and producing polished visual material for varied audiences and multiple communication platforms. Experience of explaining technical, transport or infrastructure subjects clearly through engaging visual storytelling would be relevant, particularly where communications attract substantial public scrutiny. Suppliers should also be able to work closely with an in-house communications team and support a sustained programme of content rather than isolated creative commissions. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of specialist service can be delivered by a smaller business.

## Notice

The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is the biggest investment in the UK's road network for a generation and will be an essential component in the UK's future transport infrastructure. It will boost local, regional and national economies by offering new connections, better journeys and fewer delays, and leave a legacy of low-carbon construction, local jobs and skills, and bigger, better green spaces. LTC is a high profile, nationally significant infrastructure project, and due to its cost, complexity and scale, is subject to significant public scrutiny and interest. The project undertakes a wide number of communications activities to share the information, plans, ambitions and progress to different audiences across multiple platforms. LTC is seeking a specialist supplier to assist in the production and delivery of high quality visual content, including animations and motion graphics. Working closely with the Communications Team, the bidders will be responsible for managing the planning and production of engaging and compelling visual content to meet the project's communications objectives.
