Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council commissioned consultancy support to develop a Parking and Kerbside Strategy for Sheffield. The work will establish a policy framework for managing parking and kerbside space across the city, treating kerbside capacity as a finite highway resource that must accommodate accessibility, movement, servicing, public-realm and environmental objectives. The requirement covers traffic monitoring, parking services and survey work. It is a professional services commission for organisations able to combine transport planning, parking and kerbside policy, data collection and analysis, and place-making advice. Delivery is focused on Sheffield, with participation reserved to organisations located in South Yorkshire. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was structured as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 15 June 2026 at 16:00, following an enquiry deadline of 27 May 2026 at 13:00. The award went to Steer (Steer Group), and the contract was signed on 2 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £74,555 gross. The original estimated value was £150,000 net (£180,000 gross). The tender’s stated contract period was 6 July 2026 to 31 January 2027; the signed contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. Evaluation was based on 60% quality and 40% price. Electronic submission was allowed, and the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement indicates demand from Sheffield City Council for specialist transport and place-making consultancy focused on how parking and kerbside space is managed. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience developing parking or kerbside strategies and translating competing accessibility, traffic movement, servicing, public-realm and environmental objectives into a practical policy framework. Relevant capability includes traffic monitoring, parking analysis, surveys, evidence-based consultation and clear advice for a city authority. Suppliers should be able to work across transport planning and urban place-making rather than provide parking operations alone. The council’s use of an open, below-threshold competition and its stated suitability for SMEs suggests that a suitably experienced specialist consultancy, including an SME, could be positioned to compete, particularly with strong quality evidence and a competitive price.
