Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council procured professional services for the York Outer Ring Road, classified as construction-related services (CPV 71500000). The requirement concerns professional support for this road project. The recorded delivery location is York, in Yorkshire and the Humber, England. The contracting authority and buyer is City of York Council. The service category and project title indicate work connected with the outer ring road, but no more detailed service tasks or outputs are described. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to consultancies providing professional services for road and transport infrastructure projects, rather than contractors supplying construction materials or carrying out physical road works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Pell Frischmann Consultants Limited. The award date was 14 October 2026, with a contract period from 14 October 2026 to 31 December 2029. The awarded value is £1,300,000. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 8 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was categorised as a services contract and was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots are recorded, and no evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements are described. The award is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from City of York Council for professional services supporting a major road infrastructure project, at a substantial scale and through a framework call-off. Pell Frischmann Consultants Limited, a large supplier, was selected. A competitor seeking to be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need to show that it can provide professional consultancy services for road projects and deliver the scope and capacity expected by the council. The procurement route also makes experience in securing a place on relevant frameworks and responding to call-off competitions commercially pertinent. The requirement is marked unsuitable for SMEs, so smaller firms may need to assess whether they can participate through a larger framework supplier or consortium, subject to the terms of any future competition.
