Spend pattern
What National Highways buys, and how the spend behaves
National Highways has issued 382 tracked awards worth £495.6m across the period we monitor. The average award sits at £1.3m. Spend skews towards Geological, geophysical and other scientific prospecting services, Surface work for highways and Development consultancy services. The largest single award we have on record went to Ford for £52.6m, on a Inspector vehicle 2025-2026 notice. Only 5.5% of awards have gone to SMBs, so smaller suppliers are under-represented relative to the wider market. Activity is softening versus the prior month.

How Bidwell helps
Win more of the National Highways pipeline
SMB share at National Highways is 5.5%, well under the public-sector benchmark. If you are a smaller supplier, you are statistically under-represented in this pipeline, and Bidwell is built to change that. We watch every notice the buyer publishes, score it against your past wins, and draft a complete first response in around 30 minutes so you can bid on the awkward ones you would normally skip.
