Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned professional transport and road safety services to support its road safety team’s programmes. The requirement covers engineering design, project management and road safety audit expertise, with associated construction, engineering, inspection, recruitment, consultancy and environmental management services. This is a services contract delivered in England. It is relevant to engineering consultancies, transport and highways specialists, road safety audit providers, project management firms, and organisations able to supply suitably qualified transport professionals. The requirement combines technical design and assurance with programme delivery support, rather than a single construction project. Businesses with experience supporting public-sector road safety programmes and coordinating multidisciplinary transport work would be aligned with its scope.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a tender process using the buyer’s stated ‘other’ procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded on 21 June 2026 to Waterman Aspen and Matchtech Limited, with an awarded value of £160,000 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. The wider contract period recorded for the requirement runs from 13 August 2026 to 25 September 2026. Leicester City Council is the buyer. The opportunity was classified primarily as services, with construction work as the main classification and additional engineering, recruitment, consultancy and environmental management classifications.

This award indicates that Leicester City Council uses external providers to strengthen road safety programme delivery with engineering design, project management and road safety audit capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable pool of transport professionals, demonstrable highways and road safety expertise, and the capacity to provide several specialist functions rather than only one isolated service. Experience producing engineering designs, managing public-sector projects and carrying out independent road safety audits would be particularly relevant. Firms should also be able to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, respond to programme needs and work across England. The selected suppliers are large organisations, suggesting that scale, resource resilience and the ability to mobilise qualified personnel are important commercial considerations.
