## Summary

National Highways Limited procured an IT software package supplied by TRACESMART LIMITED, trading as LexisNexis. The requirement is identified as a three-year LexisNexis agreement. This is a software supply rather than a works or on-site service contract; the procurement record does not describe the package’s specific functions or intended users. National Highways is the buying organisation, based in Birmingham. The supplier is based in Cardiff. No delivery location is stated, so the available information does not establish where the software is to be deployed or used.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to TRACESMART LIMITED. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2029. Its stated value is £15,434.64 excluding VAT (£18,521.57 including VAT). There is one lot, and it is complete. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria or comparative assessment are described; the process is recorded as a non-competitive award. The agreement is for three years.

For suppliers competing for a similar future requirement from National Highways, this award shows demand for a LexisNexis software package through a direct, below-threshold route without competition. A credible competitor would need to supply software that meets the buyer’s underlying requirement and offer a straightforward agreement on a similar, relatively modest scale. The recorded procurement gives no detail about the package’s features, integrations, user numbers, technical standards, support arrangements or required supplier credentials, so these cannot be treated as established requirements. The selected supplier is a large company, but the procurement does not state that supplier size was a selection condition. The opportunity is relevant to software vendors able to provide the required LexisNexis product or a suitable alternative, subject to the buyer’s needs when the requirement next arises.
