Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority commissioned transport modelling and related economic analysis to support the wider Teesworks Transport business case. The work uses the Tees Valley Strategic Transport Model and concerns transport interventions serving Teesworks. It is transport systems consultancy, delivered in the North East of England. The procurement was managed on the Authority’s behalf by Bloom Procurement Services, with Jacobs U.K. Ltd appointed to lead the modelling and economics. This is a specialist analytical services requirement, rather than a purchase of transport infrastructure or equipment; relevant suppliers would need to provide modelling and economic evidence for transport planning and business-case development.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Jacobs U.K. Ltd. The award was made on 28 May 2026, and the contract was executed on 28 August 2026. The contract period ran from 1 June to 14 September 2026. The awarded value was £115,521. The tender deadline was 25 May 2026. The available procurement information identifies the requirement as transport modelling and associated economics, but does not describe a lot structure, participation conditions, procurement procedure or evaluation criteria. The appointed supplier was tasked with leading the modelling and economic work, using the Tees Valley Strategic Transport Model, to inform the Teesworks Transport business case.

For future work of this kind, a credible supplier would need demonstrable capability in strategic transport modelling and transport economics, including the ability to apply an established regional transport model to proposed interventions and produce analysis suitable for a transport business case. The requirement shows demand for a lead consultancy able to combine model-based assessment with economic analysis and contribute to a wider case for investment at Teesworks. The selected provider was a large consultancy, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; competitors should therefore be prepared to deliver the full specialist assignment at comparable scale. Experience supporting public-sector transport planning and coordinating technical evidence into a business case would be directly relevant.
