Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council, acting for Black Country Transport, procured highways consultancy services for the BCT major project portfolio. The requirement was technical design expertise to support the project manager for the A454 Phases 1 and 2 scheme, including detailed design and early contractor involvement during scheme development. The work relates to highway infrastructure and is delivered in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at the Civic Centre in Wolverhampton. It sits within the Midland Highways Alliance PSP4 Lot 2 Framework and is categorised as highways consultancy services. The requirement is relevant to engineering consultancies, highway designers and infrastructure specialists able to provide technical design support for major road projects and collaborate with project managers and future construction contractors.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award under the Midland Highways Alliance PSP4 Lot 2 Framework. The contract was awarded to Waterman Aspen on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £121,072. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made for the complete requirement rather than separate lots. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route, so no competitive scoring basis is stated. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Wolverhampton City Council is the buyer.

For suppliers that did not secure this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from Wolverhampton City Council and Black Country Transport for specialist highway design support linked to major project delivery. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in detailed highway design, scheme development and technical consultancy for road infrastructure, together with the capacity to support a project manager through design development and early contractor involvement. Experience of working collaboratively with construction contractors would be relevant, as would the ability to operate within a public-sector framework arrangement. The requirement is particularly aligned with small and medium-sized engineering consultancies that can provide focused technical resources for defined phases of a major transport scheme and maintain delivery capability across the contract period.
