## Summary

National Highways Limited commissioned technical inspection services for the M5 J20–21, milepost 164, St George’s Rail Deck main scheme. The work relates to the rail deck on this section of the M5; the published scope identifies the scheme but gives no further description of the inspection tasks or delivery location. The procurement was for services rather than goods or construction works. Suppliers whose work includes technical inspection in support of highway infrastructure schemes may find this requirement relevant, particularly those able to work on major-road structures. The named scheme and motorway section identify the project, while the available description does not set out specific inspection methods, assets to be inspected or deliverables.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to RSS International Ltd, with an active contract. National Highways used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT (£12,000 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the technical inspection service for the M5 J20–21 St George’s Rail Deck main scheme. The award was for the whole lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded, consistent with the stated route without competition. The published information identifies the successful supplier but does not provide a breakdown of tasks or explain the selection rationale.

This award shows that National Highways has bought technical inspection services for a specific motorway rail-deck scheme through a direct, below-threshold route. A supplier seeking similar future work would need to demonstrate credible technical inspection capability relevant to highway infrastructure and rail-deck projects, with the capacity to deliver a focused, small-scale assignment. The contract was awarded to RSS International Ltd, indicating that a specialist supplier can secure this type of requirement; the procurement does not set out particular accreditations, named qualifications, staffing levels or technical methods, so none can be treated as an established requirement. The work is tightly tied to the M5 scheme rather than a broad programme of inspections. Suppliers with relevant inspection experience and the ability to support National Highways’ project needs are the closest fit.
