National Highways (NH), a wholly government-owned company responsible for managing and improving England’s strategic road network, has let four data analysis, supply and management contracts together worth over £100m. Spread across three different vendors, the biggest winner from the latest crop of awards was Deloitte UK.
The Big Four firm landed the two largest lots each comprising a five-year agreement worth up to £35m. These will focus on supporting both cross-cutting delivery across NH’s Chief Data Office (CDO) and the work of its Digital Lab. The latter is the CDO’s design and delivery arm for digital products and services.
The other successful suppliers were data asset management specialists, Anmut and GHD Group
(formerly 
known as Gutteridge Haskins & Davey), a global employee-owned multinational technical professional services firm. The deals, which will also run until mid-2030, are worth £25m and £11m respectively. The former has been selected to provide data governance and assurance managed services, while GHD will deliver ontology and taxonomy services to enhance NH’s ability to record, share and manage institutional knowledge.
The successes at NH will be welcome news for Deloitte UK. Having seen its technology-centric consulting revenues decline in FY24 (see here), it appears the firm has continued to find the going heavy in the IT services arena during its just competed fiscal year with its Technology & Transformation division falling materially short of its performance goals (see here).
