## Summary

National Highways Limited bought transport stillages for MS1 and AMI digital signs. This is a goods procurement for equipment used to transport the signs. Delivery is specified for the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Abus UK. The contract was awarded on 7 October 2026 through a competitive award under a framework, using a selective procedure, and covered one lot. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £2.1 million excluding VAT (£2.52 million including VAT).

This was a one-off purchase, rather than a stated recurring requirement. It demonstrates National Highways’ demand for transport stillages specifically suited to MS1 and AMI digital signs. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need to show they can provide appropriate stillages and manage delivery across the United Kingdom. The award to Abus UK, an SME, shows a smaller supplier secured the contract; the procurement does not state particular accreditations, technical standards or experience requirements.
