Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council has procured a framework for highways transport project design support within Nottingham. The work supports the design of the Council’s highways projects and may involve coordinating with Council staff, other contractors, consultants and other parties on individual projects. The service is highways consultancy, rather than construction delivery. The framework covers one lot and is intended to provide design support for a range of highways works across the city. The full technical specification is part of the procurement pack. Three consulting firms were selected for the framework: TSK Consulting Ltd, BWB Consulting Limited and Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to TSK Consulting Ltd, BWB Consulting Limited and Waterman Infrastructure & Environment Limited. The award date was 13 October 2026. The framework award is valued at £3 million excluding VAT (£3.6 million including VAT). The award period is 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2030. Nottingham City Council used an open procedure to establish a closed framework with up to three suppliers; call-offs are made without reopening competition. Tenders were evaluated on price (60%), quality (20%) and social value (20%). The competition received 16 bids, of which 10 were from SMEs. The procurement was published on 13 July 2026, with bids due by 19 August 2026 and enquiries by 12 August 2026.

This award confirms demand from Nottingham City Council for highways project design consultancy, with work delivered within the city and requiring coordination across Council teams and other project participants. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate relevant highways design capability and the capacity to support multiple projects while working effectively with other consultants and contractors. The Council’s evaluation gave most weight to price, while also allocating substantial weight to quality and social value, so suppliers need a competitive cost base alongside a strong technical offer and evidence of social value. SMEs were active in the competition, and the lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The framework route uses a limited panel and awards call-offs without a further competition.
