## Summary

National Highways Limited engaged Network Rail to provide railway asset-protection services for resurfacing the southbound M6 carriageway and replacing bridge joints on Bromford Viaduct, between junctions 5 and 6. The work covers engineering document reviews, coordination at the railway interface, review of risk assessments and method statements, and site supervision and monitoring to protect railway infrastructure while the highway works are carried out. This is a specialist railway support service, rather than the delivery of the road resurfacing itself. The location is the M6 at Bromford Viaduct in the West Midlands. The requirement is tied to National Highways’ roadworks and the need to manage their effects on Network Rail’s assets.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. National Highways awarded the work to Network Rail through a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The award record gives no separate award date; the contract was signed on 24 April 2026. The contract period runs from 11 May to 31 December 2026. Its value is £11,256.44 excluding VAT and £13,507.73 including VAT. The stated scope indicates that the work centres on railway asset protection during specified highway works; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded. Network Rail is the selected supplier, and the contract remains active.

For suppliers considering comparable railway asset-protection work for National Highways, credibility rests on understanding railway infrastructure and the interfaces between rail operations and nearby highway construction. The requirement demonstrates demand for engineering review of works documentation, coordination with the railway, scrutiny of risk assessments and method statements, and on-site supervision and monitoring to protect railway assets. Suppliers would need to combine these technical and coordination capabilities and provide suitable site oversight for bridge and carriageway works alongside railway infrastructure. Network Rail’s selection shows that an established railway organisation was appointed for this requirement, which was awarded directly without competition. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to suppliers able to deliver railway-specific protection and assurance services for road schemes, rather than firms offering road resurfacing alone.
