Spend skews towards Surface work for highways, Development consultancy services and Railway maintenance or service vehicles, and railway freight wagons. 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.
