Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council, on behalf of Black Country Transport, procured NEC4 Project Management A services for the A4123 project. The requirement is highways consultancy, with related highways engineering support, during the Early Contractor Involvement phase of scheme development. The appointed project management support is intended to assist the A4123 project manager with cost management, risk management and value management. The work is delivered in England, for a transport scheme associated with the Black Country. It is a services contract and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was sourced through the Midlands Highway Alliance PSP4 Lot 2 Framework, indicating a need for firms able to provide specialist highways project management within that framework route.

The procurement is complete and was made by direct award under the Midlands Highway Alliance PSP4 Lot 2 Framework. The tender deadline was 16 June 2026 at 23:59. The estimated tender value and awarded value were both £145,286.40. Waterman Aspen received the active award on 30 June 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The wider contract period recorded for the requirement runs from 26 June 2026 to 1 June 2027. The evaluation basis was the direct-award route rather than an open competition. The scope covers one requirement for NEC4 Project Management A support to the A4123 project manager, focused on cost, risk and value management during Early Contractor Involvement.

This award demonstrates demand from Wolverhampton City Council and Black Country Transport for specialist highways project management during the development of major transport schemes. A credible future supplier would need practical NEC4 Project Management A capability, including the ability to support project managers with cost control, risk management and value management during Early Contractor Involvement. Experience in highways consultancy and highways engineering would be relevant, particularly on scheme development rather than only construction delivery. Firms should also understand how to work within the Midlands Highway Alliance PSP4 Lot 2 Framework and provide suitably experienced personnel for a council-led transport programme. The requirement is accessible to SMEs, so a smaller specialist consultancy with strong NEC4 and highways credentials could be well placed when comparable work is next considered.
