Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured specialist transport planning consultancy support for Darley Abbey Mills Bridge in Derby. The requirement falls within engineering and inspection services, covering professional transport planning advice associated with the bridge project. It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom, with the specific project location identified by the bridge name and the council’s Derby base. The buying organisation is Derby City Council. The selected provider, Haskoning UK Limited, is a large consultancy business. The opportunity is therefore relevant to firms offering specialist transport planning advice for bridge and transport infrastructure projects, particularly those able to work with a local authority client and support requirements in the Derby area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Haskoning UK Limited on 31 March 2026. The award value is £95,320. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 30 March 2026. Derby City Council used a direct award via the ESPO 664_25 framework, rather than an open competition. The procurement was classified as a services requirement, with an estimated value of £95,320. One supplier is identified for the award. The published outcome records the award as active. No lots are identified, so the requirement was treated as a single contract for the bridge consultancy support.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist transport planning consultancy linked to a named bridge project and a local authority client. A credible competitor for comparable work would need demonstrable expertise in transport planning for bridge or wider transport infrastructure schemes, together with the ability to provide focused consultancy support rather than general professional services. The route to market is also significant: the council used a direct award through the ESPO 664_25 framework, so relevant framework presence and compliance would be important for firms seeking comparable opportunities. The stated suitability position favours larger established consultancies over SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises for this requirement.
