UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is procuring highways and transportation cost consultancy services through a framework. The appointed consultancy will provide cost management services for the Council’s Highways and Transportation Capital Works Programme, using agile and reactive working arrangements to respond to requirements. The work covers highways consultancy and will be delivered in Leeds and across the Yorkshire and Humber region. The framework may also be used by local authorities in the region, including Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, North Yorkshire, Wakefield, York, East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley. Services will be commissioned through individual orders under the framework.

The procurement has reached tender: Leeds City Council invited offers through an above-threshold open procedure. Enquiries were due by 27 August 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 3 September 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 1 October 2026. The single-participant framework is estimated at £4.8 million excluding VAT, or £5.76 million including VAT. It is intended to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with one possible two-year renewal extending the maximum period to 1 November 2030. Evaluation is based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. A successful supplier pays a 2% fee based on the award value.

This opportunity suits a highways or transportation consultancy with established cost management expertise and experience supporting capital works programmes. Suppliers should be able to provide responsive, agile services and adjust their input to individual orders, with pricing based on hourly rates and the required duration of work. The framework can be used by multiple local authorities across Yorkshire and the Humber, so a supplier needs the capacity and organisation to respond to requirements from different public-sector clients. Familiarity with the NEC4 Professional Services Contract, June 2017, as amended, would help suppliers deliver under the stated order terms. The requirement is particularly relevant to firms experienced in highways consultancy, cost planning, cost control and related commercial advice.
