Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority commissioned transport systems consultancy support for consultation on its draft Local Transport Plan. The work covers planning, delivering and analysing a high-quality, collaborative consultation, including programme management and coordination with City of York Council and North Yorkshire Council. The consultant is expected to support inclusive participation and help ensure that responses represent the geography and demographics of York and North Yorkshire. Residents, businesses, visitors and other stakeholders should have meaningful opportunities to shape the developing plan. Delivery covers York and North Yorkshire. This is a public-sector consultation and stakeholder-engagement assignment for a transport, policy or research consultancy, rather than a construction, engineering delivery or routine transport operation contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated on the most advantageous tender, using a 20% price and 80% quality weighting. The original tender deadline was extended to 26 June 2026 at 12:00 noon; enquiries closed on 12 June 2026 at 12:00 noon. The estimated gross lot value was £160,000. HASKONING UK LIMITED was awarded the contract, which was signed on 14 August 2026 for a gross value of £159,796.86, including £133,164.05 excluding tax. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 31 December 2026, with one possible three-month extension to 31 March 2027.

This award demonstrates demand from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority for specialist consultation support linked to local transport planning. A credible future competitor would need experience of designing and delivering public consultations, stakeholder engagement and response analysis, with the ability to work collaboratively across the Combined Authority, City of York Council and North Yorkshire Council. Strong capability in inclusive engagement is important, including reaching residents, businesses, visitors and stakeholder groups. Suppliers should be able to plan workloads carefully, meet fixed statutory consultation requirements and demonstrate how they will achieve representative responses across differing communities, locations and demographics. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a focused consultancy or partnership could be well placed.
