Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned an integrated, evidence-based and investment-ready Transit Oriented Development strategy for the Odesa region. The work is transport and infrastructure consultancy: it is intended to position transport and logistics as enablers of economic recovery, trade and long-term development. The requirement centres on designing and delivering a regional transport strategy, rather than constructing transport infrastructure. The buyer is the Department for Transport, based in London. The strategy concerns the Odesa region; the published delivery locations also include the United Kingdom and several broad international locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PA Consulting Services Limited. The award was made on 28 September 2026, for £419,893.75. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The Department for Transport used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 17 August 2026. The requirement is presented as a single strategy commission, with no lots identified. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The available procurement details do not set out the scoring or evaluation criteria, so no specific basis for comparing proposals can be stated.

This award shows that the Department for Transport buys regional transport strategy work linking transport and logistics to economic recovery, trade and longer-term development, including in an international regional context. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to combine transport and infrastructure consultancy with the ability to produce an integrated, evidence-based strategy that is ready to support investment. The work calls for strategic analysis and delivery, rather than infrastructure construction. The buyer used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, so relevant framework access and the capacity to deliver a focused consultancy commission are commercially important. The buyer marked the work as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller consultancies may be relevant competitors, either independently or as part of a delivery team.
