Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council has completed the award stage of its procurement process for the "Mixed Delivery Model Appraisal" project. This initiative, classified under the Highways Consultancy Services industry category, involves a comprehensive review of drainage delivery models to align with various strategic plans such as the Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Plan and Staffordshire's Roadmap to a Better Network, among others. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically a call-off from the MHA+ Professional Services Partnership 4 Framework Agreement, with Waterman Aspen Ltd emerging as the chosen supplier. The contract, valued at £73,920, spans from 17th June 2026 to 16th October 2026, and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in high-level consultancy services related to highways infrastructure. Companies that are adept in environmental systems review and have capabilities to align such systems with strategic infrastructure plans are particularly well-suited for contracts like these. Additionally, as the call-off was from a structured framework agreement, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) had a competitive advantage, which emphasises the opportunity for growth for businesses aiming to expand their service offerings in partnership with local councils and public bodies.
