UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured cost and risk consultancy support for its 2026/27 highways infrastructure scheme. The requirement is for professional services covering highways consultancy, with the appointed consultant supporting the council’s infrastructure programme through cost advice and risk management. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, a local public authority based in Leicester. The work is associated with highways infrastructure activity in the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and relates specifically to consultancy support rather than construction delivery, materials supply or routine highways maintenance. It is therefore relevant to consultancies with experience advising public-sector highways or infrastructure programmes, particularly those able to provide cost and risk expertise within a framework-based public procurement route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. Bentley Project Management (UK) Limited was awarded the single lot on 10 July 2026. The award value is £91,080 excluding VAT, or £109,296 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled by 31 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a highways consultancy services contract. The appointed supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. This was a below-threshold procurement and the award remains active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for specialist cost and risk consultancy supporting highways infrastructure delivery, at a defined project-support scale and through a framework call-off. Competitors seeking similar work with Leicestershire County Council would need credible highways consultancy capability, including the ability to advise on infrastructure scheme costs and identify, assess and manage delivery risks. Experience of working with public-sector clients and operating within framework arrangements would be commercially relevant. A suitable supplier would also need sufficient professional capacity to support the council across the contract period, provide practical advice for an infrastructure programme and work within public procurement governance. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only a large multidisciplinary firm.
