Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Sutton Local Plan Strategic Transport Assessment" was led by the London Borough of Sutton, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom, as the buying organisation. This process was aimed at preparing a comprehensive transport assessment to evaluate the transport network's functionality in response to future developments. The procurement followed an open method and concluded with an award to Systra Ltd on 4th August 2025. The contract, valued at £57,972 excluding VAT, spans from 11th August 2025 to 31st July 2026, with an option to extend for an additional six months. The engagement involves transport systems consultancy services, and the project location covers the Sutton area in the UK.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, specifically for transport consultancy firms capable of executing complex transport system assessments and modelling. Companies equipped with expertise in strategic and local transport network analysis, including integration with Transport for London and other development models, are well-placed to compete. Additionally, businesses focusing on sustainable transport solutions, public transport, and active travel reforms could leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio by addressing the challenges posed by the growth under Sutton’s Local Plan.

Notice Title

Sutton Local Plan Strategic Transport Assessment

Notice Description

The project is to prepare and finalise a Strategic Transport Assessment to support the preparation of the new Sutton Local Plan. The scope of work is expected to cover the following (the full tender specification should also be referred to): The purpose of this work is to demonstrate how the transport network is likely to operate in response to the changes in travel behaviour arising from development, including allocated sites, under the proposed Local Plan and supporting evidence base documents. The Strategic Transport Assessment will include transport modelling, and also incorporate separately published Transport for London / developer models and analysis to assess the effects of the development planned under the Local Plan on the local and strategic highways network in the borough, as well as public transport and active travel up to the end of the proposed plan period. It will recommend new projects and mitigation to address impacts of the Local Plan and other planned growth nearby. The Strategic Transport Assessment should assess impacts related to the highway network (strategic and non-strategic); public transport (bus, rail and tram), and active travel (walking and cycling). The Strategic Transport Assessment should be informed by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) as well as the Department for Transport Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) and Transport for London Transport Assessment guidance.
