In plain English
National Highways wants a design and build partner to widen 6.5km of the A46 Newark bypass from single to dual carriageway between Farndon and Winthorpe roundabouts near Newark-on-Trent. The contract period runs from December 2028 to December 2038, though the scheme is subject to an ongoing government consultation and no decisions have been made.
Good fit for: Major civil engineering contractors able to design and build trunk road schemes, plus specialist subcontractors seeking work further down the chain.
Watch out: Single lot covering a whole major road scheme, so bidders must cover design and construction together; Ten-year contract period starting in December 2028 requires long-term capacity; Delivery depends on the outcome of a government consultation on the roads programme; no decision yet

What the buyer says
This opportunity relates to the A46 Newark Bypass road scheme which is a critical part of National Highways’ investment to make all our major roads more dependable, durable and most importantly, safe. Our improvements to the route that connects the M1 and Leicester to the A1 and central Lincolnshire will help reduce congestion in the area. We propose to improve the A46 Newark bypass by widening 6.5km of the existing single carriageway to a dual carriageway, to provide two lanes in each direction between Farndon and Winthorpe roundabouts near Newark-on-Trent. National Highways are looking to procure a design and build partner to deliver the A46 Newark Bypass road scheme. National Highways are aware the Government are consulting on proposed changes to RIS3 and that includes this project. No decisions have been made at this time.
Procedure: Competitive flexible procedure. Published 22 Sep 2026.
