## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council commissioned litter-picking services on the verges and central reservations of the A45 and A14 in North Northamptonshire. The work was to be carried out during night-time closures of these roads, with the requirement covering the road network rather than general street cleaning. The service is litter collection (CPV 90511300), for a local authority responsible for the area. This is a highways maintenance requirement focused on removing litter from roadside areas while traffic closures make the locations accessible. The selected supplier was AMEY Highways Limited, a highways services company. The work related to one procurement lot and was delivered in North Northamptonshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to AMEY Highways Limited. North Northamptonshire Council used a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August to 15 September 2026. Its value is £54,400.44 excluding VAT and £65,280.53 including VAT. The requirement covered one lot: litter picking on the A45 and A14 verges and central reservations during planned night closures. The work was required during closures in August and September 2026. The published procurement data does not set out separate evaluation criteria; the recorded route was a direct award rather than a competitive evaluation.

For suppliers considering a comparable future requirement from North Northamptonshire Council, this award indicates demand for targeted litter collection on major roads, including verges and central reservations. Credible competitors would need to deliver highways work safely during night-time road closures and coordinate activity around closure schedules on the A45 and A14. Relevant operational experience would include working in live-road environments, managing crews and equipment for short, scheduled shifts, and completing litter clearance across roadside areas. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so the published outcome does not show a competitive scoring model or identify specific accreditations. Suppliers with established highways delivery capability and the capacity to mobilise for planned closures would be well placed to meet this particular type of requirement.

## Notice
