Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Metro Borough Council procured design services for hostile vehicle mitigation as part of the Walsall Connected Gateway project. The requirement covers professional design work intended to protect the project from vehicle-based threats, within the wider business and security services category (CPV 79000000). Delivery is in Walsall, at the project location associated with postcode WS1 1TP. This is a service requirement rather than construction works or supply of physical equipment, although the design may support later implementation of hostile vehicle mitigation measures. The buying organisation is Walsall Metro Borough Council, based at the Civic Centre in Walsall. The opportunity would suit consultancies with relevant security, infrastructure, highways, public-realm or protective-design capability connected with hostile vehicle mitigation schemes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 3 September 2026 to ARCADIS CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED for £74,335.55 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The original procurement had an estimated value of £74,335 in GBP, with submissions due by 4pm on 3 September 2026. There is one awarded supplier and no lot split is recorded. The procurement is for services, and the published outcome records the award as active. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates a defined requirement from Walsall Metro Borough Council for specialist hostile vehicle mitigation design connected with a major gateway project. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate experience designing protective measures against vehicle incursion in public or similarly busy environments, while balancing security with access, movement, appearance and day-to-day usability. Relevant capability may include threat-informed design, site and highway assessment, protective-security principles, stakeholder coordination and production of designs that can be taken forward into implementation. The successful supplier was a large professional consultancy, suggesting that the buyer valued established technical capacity and the ability to deliver a focused design commission through a framework route. Firms with comparable project experience and framework access would be best placed to compete for similar work from this council.
