Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Staffordshire County Council has concluded with the award of a contract for a project titled "Permit consultancy" in the works industry category. The project entails the design, manufacture, and installation of safety barriers across all ramp sites within the HWRC network, located in Staffordshire, UK. This direct award was issued on 1st May 2026 and is scheduled to last until 30th April 2027. The procurement process was completed without competition under a direct procurement method and was below the threshold for competitive bidding. Staffordshire County Council, a public authority operating within the sub-central government category, managed this process from its location in Stafford, Staffordshire.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in safety equipment installation, including fencing and railing services. Given the direct award was made to Cooper Mobile Services Limited, small and medium-sized enterprises with similar capabilities could look to engage in future procurements with Staffordshire County Council or related projects within the UK.
