Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council commissioned a transport strategy for the county’s work in England. The requirement is a consultancy service covering transport research and strategy development, with related transport-systems and highways consultancy, business analysis, project management, infrastructure and environmental advice, energy-related services, systems and software consultancy, design and public-relations consultancy. The stated title is “OWBC Transport Strategy”. The work was procured through Lot 3 of the ETC Framework and concerns professional advisory input rather than construction, goods supply or routine operational transport services. Delivery is identified broadly as England, with the council based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This is a strategic transport-planning opportunity for multidisciplinary consultancies able to combine research, analysis and infrastructure advice.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award through Lot 3 of the ETC Framework. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to AECOM Ltd on 30 July 2026. The awarded value is £22,912.50. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender record describes the procurement as a services contract and marks it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The process was not a competitive open tender; it used the framework’s direct-award route. The available information identifies the transport-strategy requirement and framework route, but gives no separate lot-level evaluation weighting or detailed selection criteria. AECOM Ltd is the sole named awarded supplier.

This award indicates demand from Leicestershire County Council for short-term, specialist transport-strategy advice delivered through an established framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable capability in transport research, strategic planning, highways and transport-systems consultancy, and the ability to turn analysis into practical infrastructure or policy recommendations. Relevant supporting strengths include business analysis, project management, environmental and energy advice, systems integration and design consultancy where these contribute to a wider transport strategy. The buyer’s classification of the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs suggests that scale, breadth of service and the capacity to coordinate several technical disciplines matter. Larger multidisciplinary consultancies with public-sector transport experience would therefore be well placed to compete when comparable work returns to market.
