Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council commissioned Stage 3 of an Inner Ring Road option assessment. The work sits within highways and transport project design support, including cycleways, and was called off from the council’s Highways Managed Framework for project design support. It is classified as construction work, although the named requirement is an assessment and design-support commission rather than physical construction. Delivery is in England, for the council’s highway and transport responsibilities. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and engineering practices with experience in highway schemes, transport planning, route or option appraisal, and the development of cycleway or wider sustainable-transport proposals. It is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a call-off from the CPU 5946 Highways Transport Project Design Support including Cycleways – Highways Managed Framework. The tender deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00. Nottingham City Council awarded the contract to BWB Consulting Ltd on 13 July 2026 for £27,500 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 January 2027. The tender’s stated procurement method detail is “Other”, and the main category is works. The award is active. The awarded requirement is a single commission for Inner Ring Road Option Assessment – Stage 3; no separate lot awards are identified.

For a consultancy that did not win this commission, the award indicates a defined market for specialist highway and transport design support within Nottingham City Council’s framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate robust option assessment, transport planning and highway engineering capability, with the ability to develop and compare practical schemes for an urban ring road. Experience of cycleway design and integrating active-travel considerations into wider highway proposals would be directly relevant. The work also points to the value of being capable of operating through a managed highways framework and delivering a focused technical commission for a public-sector client. SMEs and VCSEs were identified as suitable organisation types.
