Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath and North East Somerset Council intends to procure project management support for a School Streets programme. The requirement is classified as highways consultancy services and concerns managing work associated with School Streets, which typically relates to managing traffic and access around schools. The work is to be delivered in England. The buying organisation is Bath and North East Somerset Council, based at Keynsham Civic Centre in Keynsham. The procurement is associated with the ESPO Framework Agreement reference 664-25. It is therefore relevant to consultancies that provide highways project management and can support a council-led School Streets programme, rather than suppliers of physical construction materials or general school services.

This process is at the planning stage: the council has stated an intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use the ESPO Framework Agreement, reference 664-25. The indicative initial contract term is six months, with a value of £38,119.06 excluding VAT, or £45,742.87 including VAT. The council may extend the contract for a further period or periods of up to three months, subject to funding, approvals, mutual agreement and any necessary amendments. Early market engagement is planned to end on 17 October 2026. The procurement is intended to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This requirement is aimed at highways consultancy businesses with project management capability relevant to School Streets. Firms should be able to support a council in managing a programme involving highways and school-area access considerations. It may suit small and medium-sized enterprises, which the council has identified as an appropriate supplier type. Businesses already operating through, or able to work within, the ESPO Framework Agreement reference 664-25 may be particularly well placed to prepare. Preparation should focus on demonstrating relevant highways consultancy and project management experience, a clear understanding of School Streets work, and the capacity to support a public-sector client through a short initial assignment and possible extension.
