## Summary

National Highways Limited purchased a subscription to Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) annual membership. The membership provides access to projects intended to address the highways authority’s short- and long-term challenges through industry collaboration. The stated focus includes improving quality, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and safety in the modern built environment, supporting asset management and maintenance, and improving roadworks safety. The work is highways-related consultancy and membership services, delivered through MTC in Coventry. This is a service requirement for an organisation seeking collaborative industry projects and expertise relevant to maintaining and improving the highway network.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. National Highways awarded the work to Manufacturing Technology Centre. It used a direct award below the competition threshold, without competition, under a single lot. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. The procurement description refers to a one-year membership subscription, while the recorded contract period runs for the dates stated above. No award evaluation criteria are recorded; the route was a direct award without competition.

For suppliers preparing to compete for comparable National Highways requirements, this award indicates demand for access to collaborative projects and expertise addressing highway asset management, maintenance and roadworks safety, alongside quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the built environment. A credible competitor would need to show how its membership, network or specialist services can bring relevant industry participants together and deliver practical value against these challenges. The selected provider is a manufacturing technology centre, so organisations with a strong applied innovation and industry-collaboration offer may be well placed. The requirement was fulfilled through an annual membership arrangement rather than a separately described delivery project; suppliers should therefore be able to explain the relevant projects, expertise and participation their membership offers National Highways.
