Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council commissioned specialist support and advice for developing the Final Business Case for the A52 Spondon Interchange improvement scheme. This is a professional consultancy service linked to a major road and transport infrastructure project, rather than the physical construction of the interchange itself. The requirement covers advice and development work needed to shape the scheme’s business case. The buyer is Derby City Council, based in Derby, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services, although the associated classification is construction work. The requirement is relevant to firms providing business-case development, transport infrastructure consultancy, project advisory services or specialist technical advice for highway improvement schemes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 August 2026 to Tetra Tech Limited. The award value is £60,000. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Derby City Council used a direct award through a framework, described as “Other - Direct Award via Framework”, rather than an open competition. The tender deadline was 8 August 2026. The stated procurement value was £60,000, matching the awarded value. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded award is active, with Tetra Tech Limited as the selected supplier.

This award indicates that Derby City Council uses specialist external advisers to support the business-case stage of strategic highway improvement schemes. A credible future competitor would need experience in preparing or reviewing Final Business Cases, understanding transport and road infrastructure investment, and providing advice that can support decisions on an interchange improvement project. Firms should be able to combine commercial, economic and technical advice rather than offer construction delivery alone. The direct award through a framework shows that access to a suitable public-sector framework can be commercially important for this buyer and requirement. The selected supplier is a large organisation, while the procurement was not considered suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, pointing towards the capacity to deliver specialist advice within a substantial infrastructure programme and to meet framework-based public-sector requirements.
