Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council, acting for Black Country Transport, procured highways consultancy and design support for the A4123 project. The work supports the project manager within the major project portfolio, providing technical design expertise for detailed design and development of an early contractor involvement scheme. It is a services requirement covering highways consultancy, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement is intended to support the development of the A4123 scheme rather than the construction works themselves. Businesses with relevant highways engineering, transport infrastructure design and scheme-development capability would find the subject matter most closely aligned with their work. The named buying organisation is Wolverhampton City Council, based at the Civic Centre in Wolverhampton.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award under the Midland Highways Alliance PSP4 Lot 2 Framework. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Waterman Aspen on 9 July 2026 for £120,889.60. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 9 July 2027. The award is active. The published requirement identified the contract as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the framework direct-award route, rather than an open competition for this individual requirement. The award covers the highways consultancy and design-support services for the A4123 project described above.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the requirement indicates demand for specialist highways consultancy supporting a major transport project from detailed design through early contractor involvement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience in highway and transport infrastructure design, the ability to provide technical advice directly to a project manager, and practical understanding of developing schemes for later construction delivery. Experience of working within a major-project environment would be relevant, as would the capacity to provide consultancy input across the required design and development activities. The buyer’s use of the Midland Highways Alliance PSP4 Lot 2 Framework also shows that framework appointment and direct-award capability can be commercially important for this type of work.
