Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council, acting for Black Country Transport, commissioned technical highways consultancy services for the A454 City East Gateway project in Wolverhampton. The work supports preparation of the Full Business Case for Phases 1 and 2, covering the Willenhall Road element of the scheme. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction delivery, with the technical advice intended to help develop the business case for a city transport and highway improvement project. The buying organisation is Wolverhampton City Council, and delivery is in the United Kingdom, centred on Wolverhampton. The opportunity falls within the services category and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Aecom Limited was selected to provide the services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the ESPO 664_25 framework, Lot 5. The contract was awarded to Aecom Limited on 24 July 2026 for £22,146.36 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 7 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 19 July 2026 at 23:59. Evaluation concerned the requirement for technical highways consultancy services to support the Full Business Case for the A454 City East Gateway Phases 1 and 2 project. The process used a direct-award route rather than an open competition, and the procurement has a completed status. The award is active, with one supplier selected for the requirement.

For future work of this type, credible suppliers will need demonstrable highways consultancy capability and experience supporting Full Business Cases for transport infrastructure projects. Relevant teams are likely to need the technical knowledge to develop and substantiate the evidence behind a major highway or city-gateway scheme, including the ability to work with a public-sector transport client and contribute to investment decision-making. Experience of projects involving urban roads, transport planning, engineering advice and business-case development would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to operate through established public-sector purchasing arrangements, such as a suitable consultancy framework, where the buyer uses a direct-award route. Small and medium-sized consultancies are within the stated suitability profile, while larger firms may also compete where they can provide the required specialist expertise and delivery capacity.
