Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Tees Valley Combined Authority involves appointing Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Ltd as the Highways Programme Manager under a selective procurement method from the ESPO Framework, specifically Lot 5 Consultancy Services. This process, classified under the CPV code for highways consultancy services, is situated in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tender reached the award stage on 29th January 2026, with a contract period extending from 16th February 2026 to 13th November 2026. Notably, the tendering stage concluded on 16th January 2026 with a total contract value amounting to £194,125.75. The procurement process emphasises a targeted approach, as it is a call-off from an established framework agreement.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in infrastructure and environmental consultancy, particularly those with expertise in managing highway programmes. While the contract was awarded to a large-scale company, similar future opportunities could be lucrative for medium and large-sized firms that are capable of fulfilling the requirements of a regional project in the North East of England. Companies with robust capabilities in providing comprehensive consultancy services for infrastructure and construction projects would be well-placed to pursue similar engagements, enhancing their portfolios and expanding market presence through collaboration with regional public authorities like the Tees Valley Combined Authority.
