Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council commissioned construction consultancy services to model the lifecycle of Luton’s highway pavement network. The work uses carriageway condition survey data to produce a lifecycle-modelling case study, examining options for surface treatments and investment. Its purpose is to help the council plan and manage its carriageway and footway network more effectively. Delivery is in England, centred on Luton. The requirement covers analytical and advisory work rather than physical highway construction: suppliers must interpret condition data, assess treatment and investment choices, and present findings that support longer-term network planning. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is Luton Council, based at Town Hall, George Street, Luton.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. The contract was awarded to Gaist Solutions Limited on 10 August 2026 for £32,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 11:05. The procurement was classified as services and the stated classification is construction consultancy services. One supplier was selected for the requirement. The award is active, and the contract period matches the period specified for the tender. The evaluation route was the direct-award method rather than an open competition.

This award demonstrates demand from Luton Council for specialist highway asset analysis that turns condition-survey data into practical lifecycle investment decisions. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this kind would need capability in pavement or highway asset management, lifecycle modelling, condition-data analysis and the assessment of surface-treatment options. It would also need to communicate technical findings as a clear case study that supports prioritisation and investment planning across carriageways and footways. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a focused consultancy with relevant analytical tools, transport infrastructure knowledge and evidence of delivering decision-support work for highway networks could be well placed. Experience relevant to Luton’s network would strengthen its position.
