Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council, acting for Black Country Transport and Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, commissioned highways consultancy services for the development of two Black Country Walking, Wheeling and Cycling routes within Walsall. The work forms part of a wider active travel infrastructure programme intended to improve connectivity, encourage cycling, and support accessibility, health and a shift from car travel to other modes. The consultancy scope covers design development, including preliminary designs, commissioning and managing the necessary surveys, and stakeholder engagement. Delivery is in Walsall, within the wider Black Country area. This is a professional services requirement for highways, active travel and transport consultants rather than construction works or the supply of physical infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the Midlands Highway Alliance PSP4 Lot 1 Framework. The contract was awarded to Amey OW Limited on 20 August 2026 for £176,821.35. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The earlier tender deadline was 19 August 2026. The stated evaluation basis is the direct-award route under the framework, rather than a new open competition. The requirement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Wolverhampton City Council is the buyer, procuring on behalf of the relevant Black Country and Walsall authorities. No separate lots or additional awards are identified.

This award provides a clear indication of the buyer’s demand for multidisciplinary active travel and highways consultancy in Walsall. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to demonstrate capability in developing walking, wheeling and cycling routes, producing preliminary highway designs, arranging and managing technical surveys, and engaging effectively with stakeholders. Experience of coordinating these activities as one consultancy commission would be relevant, as would an understanding of accessibility, health, connectivity and modal-shift objectives in transport infrastructure. The procurement also shows that this type of requirement can be placed through the Midlands Highway Alliance PSP4 Lot 1 Framework, so framework access and compliance would be commercially important for businesses seeking to compete for similar commissions with these authorities.
