I can confirm that we do hold the information. Under Section 21 of the Act, we are not required to provide information, which is already reasonably accessible to you.
Current and future IT contracts, including the value of these contracts and the description of the services either procured/to be procured are available online at: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search and/or https://www.findtender.service.gov.uk/Search.
For contracts finder you can complete an initial search based on organisation name/procurement stage and then use the criteria in the menu on the left-hand side to filter by contract type/date etc. ‘Industry CPV code’ will allow you to further refine your search by subject/service for example ‘50110000: Repair and maintenance services of motor vehicles and associated equipment’. Find a Tender works very similarly, with options down the left-hand side of the webpage to help you refine your search results.
For a detailed list of CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes, please refer to: https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/publicprocurement/digital-procurement/common-procurement-vocabulary_en.
Please note, the information shared via the first two links above may not cover the whole time period requested. This may be because we have not yet made a decision about whether to renew/extend a contract, or because we are still finalising the value/scope of services of a future opportunity. Therefore in accordance with Section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, National Highways does not hold this information. This information will be shared via the first links above as and when a decision is made.
