Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council procured specialist civil engineering project management services for bus stops and other transport infrastructure in the West Midlands. The requirement covered leadership of Department for Transport grant-funded bus stop infrastructure schemes, including accessibility upgrades, new shelters, real-time passenger information, improved waiting environments, Mobility Hubs and associated highway works. The service falls within civil engineering consultancy services (CPV 71311000) and was structured around a dedicated project manager working 40 hours per week for 30 weeks. The buyer is Worcestershire County Council, based in Worcester. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and focused on transport infrastructure delivery rather than construction works alone.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Waterman Aspen Ltd on 27 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £68,815. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. It was a selective call-off from the MHA Framework, using the NEC4 Professional Services Short Contract (PSSC), Lot 2. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published information identifies the selected supplier and award outcome but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The contract concerns services delivered for Worcestershire County Council’s bus stop and transport infrastructure programme in the West Midlands.

This award indicates demand from Worcestershire County Council for specialist project management of bus stop and wider transport infrastructure schemes funded through Department for Transport grants. A credible future supplier would need proven civil engineering project management capability, with particular experience of accessibility improvements, passenger shelters, real-time information systems, waiting environments, Mobility Hubs and related highway works. The work calls for someone able to coordinate multiple infrastructure schemes, manage delivery against grant-funded objectives and work effectively with highway and transport stakeholders. Familiarity with the NEC4 Professional Services Short Contract and the relevant MHA Framework route would strengthen a supplier’s position. Small and medium-sized consultancies with sufficient resource to provide a dedicated project manager and relevant public-sector transport experience are well placed.
