What is being bought
National Highways (NH) is looking to secure the provision of a single supplier to provide independent specialist technical advice on all issues relating to paints and the corrosion protection of steelwork used in our highway structures.

sites within England, obtaining and testing paint samples and the testing of paints to ensure durability of products used.
The strategic road network includes motorways, and single and dual carriageway all-purpose trunk roads. It is proposed to construct a large number of steel highway structures associated with major schemes. National Highways is also responsible for maintaining approximately 1750 steel bridges, 3000 steel gantry
structures and many minor steel structures such as masts and lighting columns on the strategic road network
