Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council, acting for Black Country Transport, procured highways consultancy services for the Wisemore Crossing to Arboretum scheme in Walsall. The work covers concept design for pedestrian and cyclist crossing improvements linking Walsall town centre through the Wisemore area, together with improvements to the route between Wisemore Crossing and the Arboretum. The scheme is intended to improve safety for people using the routes, particularly students attending Walsall College. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The requirement was procured through the Midland Highways Alliance Framework, Lot 1, and is relevant to organisations providing transport, highways and active-travel consultancy and concept design services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Amey OW Limited on 23 July 2026. Wolverhampton City Council used a direct award under the Midland Highways Alliance Framework, Lot 1. The awarded contract value is £52,092.83. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was evaluated as a direct framework award rather than through a new open competition. The contract covers the concept design stage of the Walsall pedestrian and cycling improvements, including the link between Wisemore Crossing and the Arboretum. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award indicates demand from Wolverhampton City Council and Black Country Transport for specialist highways consultancy supporting active-travel schemes in Walsall. A credible future competitor would need to develop concept designs for pedestrian and cycle crossings and route improvements, with a clear focus on safety and the needs of key users such as college students. Experience in transport planning, highways design and the development of walking and cycling infrastructure would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also understand how to work within the Midland Highways Alliance Framework, particularly its Lot 1 scope and direct-award route. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller consultancies with the relevant technical capability and framework access may be well placed.
