Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Parish Council seeks a traffic and transport consultancy to support its technical review of a forthcoming planning application for development at Swindon Lane in Cheltenham. The work covers technical assessment, review of transport modelling, oversight of volunteer surveys and written responses to planning matters. It is consultancy services for a specific development proposal, rather than a general transport study or a construction contract. The council expects to commission tasks incrementally under a flexible call-off arrangement. The work relates to the Swindon Lane development in Cheltenham.

The council invited proposals through an open, below-threshold procedure. The deadline for proposals was 23 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 9 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with tasks commissioned as required. The total spend is capped at £15,000 excluding VAT, on a time-and-materials basis; this is a ceiling, not a guaranteed commission. Proposals were limited to five pages, excluding CVs, and had to include company details, relevant experience, team CVs, hourly rates, insurance details and a conflict-of-interest statement. They were to be submitted as PDFs by email. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity is suited to traffic and transport consultancies able to provide qualified technical input to the planning review of a development in Cheltenham. Relevant work includes assessing transport matters, reviewing transport modelling, overseeing surveys carried out by volunteers and preparing written responses. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant experience and provide CVs for the proposed team, so firms with consultants whose backgrounds match these tasks are well placed to respond. The proposal must also set out hourly rates and insurance details and include a conflict-of-interest statement. The flexible call-off model suits a supplier able to undertake discrete tasks as they are commissioned, rather than requiring a single fixed package of work. SMEs are identified as suitable.
