Summary of the contracting process

The Worcestershire Parkway procurement process, initiated by Homes England, involves a direct appointment of Mace, with Tony Gee supporting as a subcontractor, to assist in reviewing and designing options for new rail crossings. This project is part of a broader initiative to develop a new settlement of 10,000 homes, requiring infrastructure upgrades, including rail crossing enhancements. The procurement falls under the architecture, construction, engineering, and inspection services category. This project spans multiple UK regions including the West Midlands, with the contract period from 27 November 2025 to 1 February 2026. Homes England is overseeing the award process. The tender has reached the award stage, with the award published on 2 December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the architectural and engineering sectors, particularly those that specialise in infrastructure development and sustainable movement strategies. Companies with expertise in these areas can showcase their capabilities in designing and executing complex projects. Mace's involvement highlights the need for experienced firms, suggesting opportunities for large-scale suppliers with a track record of delivering infrastructure projects. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find potential collaboration or subcontracting opportunities to leverage their niche expertise and contribute to the ambitious plan for community development at Worcestershire Parkway.

Notice Title

Worcestershire Parkway -Mace Direct Award

Notice Description

Further to recent discussions, we are seeking a direct appointment of Mace supported by Tony Gee as their subcontractor to assist with reviewing and designing options for new rail crossings at Worcestershire Parkway. The total cost for this commission is: PS98,445.76. I understand that under the framework guidance, direct appointments over PS10,000 in value can be approved at Director level in exceptional circumstances but only up to the FTS threshold value (this commission falls under the FTS threshold). This appointment was recommended by the Technical Director given the specialist nature of the work and track record of the team at York Central. Context: Worcestershire Parkway is an identified accelerator site and comprises a new settlement of 10,000 homes (we will claim 1000 direct outputs and a further 9000 indirect outputs). This work is needed to inform the preparation of the Full Business Case for forward funding of primary infrastructure (anticipated in Spring 2026) to unlock and accelerate development. The delivery of the settlement is contingent on upgrades to two existing rail crossings that are constrained: 1. The existing overbridge over the B4084 is too narrow and cannot accommodate the predicted number of car movements. A new all modes bridge, for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists will be required between the western neighbourhoods and the town centre including to provide access to a new secondary school. 2. A new underpass is required to replace the existing underpass to link the main town centre and southern neighbourhoods with the B4084. The existing underpass has restricted height and is too narrow to accommodate active travel routes as part of a sustainable movement strategy.
