National Highways Procurement Consultancy

National Highways required experienced procurement managers to support a high volume of activity across its national operations. Its established, high-performing procurement team needed additional resources able to take ownership of projects at any stage, adapt quickly to existing governance and systems and work confidently within a regulated environment. Requirements ranged from complex digital and energy procurements worth in the region of £10-50m annually to smaller framework call-offs, spanning IT, technical infrastructure, estates, energy, HR and professional services. The introduction of the new PA23 procurement regime added further complexity.

G&T has provided strategic and tactical procurement support since April 2025, embedding three procurement managers within the client’s category procurement teams. Working with stakeholders across the business, they develop procurement strategies, specifications and documentation and manage processes through evaluation and award. Their flexible deployment enables them to lead projects from inception or take responsibility for specific elements of larger, live procurements. Drawing on expertise across G&T and the client team, they also support pipeline development and delivery under the new procurement regime.

G&T’s support is helping National Highways maintain delivery across a varied and demanding procurement programme. By integrating into the category teams and taking ownership of assignments with limited supervision, our procurement managers provide dependable additional capacity while maintaining the client’s standards and established ways of working. This joined-up approach gives stakeholders consistent support and enables resources to respond as priorities change. The commission demonstrates how G&T combines strategic advice with hands-on delivery to support an established procurement function.
