UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured consultancy services for the Zouch and Desford highways infrastructure scheme. The requirement was for highways consultancy services supporting the council’s 2026/27 infrastructure programme. Delivery covers Leicestershire, within the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, a sub-central public authority responsible for the county’s services and infrastructure. The procurement concerned services rather than physical construction works or the supply of goods. The stated scope is focused on consultancy associated with highways infrastructure, making it relevant to firms that advise on, manage or support highway improvement schemes for local authorities. The requirement was arranged as a single completed lot and relates to work commissioned by the county council under an existing framework arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 10 July 2026 to BENTLEY PROJECT MANAGEMENT (UK) LIMITED. 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. Leicestershire County Council used a selective procedure, with the procurement method described as a below-threshold award under a framework. The call-off was not competitive. The requirement was handled as one completed lot, covering the highways consultancy service for the scheme. A contract signature was scheduled for 31 July 2026. The selected supplier is a UK small or medium-sized enterprise. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council uses framework-based, below-threshold routes to procure specialist highways consultancy for named infrastructure schemes. Competitors seeking comparable work would need a credible track record in highways consultancy and the capability to support local-authority infrastructure delivery across Leicestershire. They would also need to understand how to operate within an established framework, including its access conditions, scope and call-off processes, rather than relying only on open tender opportunities. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy rather than only by a major national engineering group. Firms with relevant highway infrastructure expertise, public-sector delivery experience and framework participation would be best placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer.
