Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Worcestershire County Council, in collaboration with Bromsgrove District Council, centred on the project titled "PL0324 Bromsgrove District Council Local Plan Testing." This endeavour falls under the industry category of highways consultancy services and is situated in the West Midlands, UK. The process reached the award stage on 27th October 2025, following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £273,350.91, commenced on 13th October 2025 and is scheduled to end on 31st March 2027. This timeline aligns with the councils' strategic agenda to develop a transport evidence base using the Worcestershire Strategic Transport Model (WSTM) for the 2025-2028 local development plan period.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in infrastructure and transportation consultancy. With a focus on high-level transport modelling and strategy development, firms with expertise in highways and urban development are well-positioned to engage with this contract. Despite the tender's completion, similar future projects could benefit consultancy firms that possess robust frameworks for transport planning and analytics. Large-scale companies, such as the appointed contractor Amey OW Limited, are ideally suited for such strategic infrastructure roles. However, future calls may provide integration opportunities for SMEs as sub-contractors or partners in a broader consortium.
