Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured transport modelling services for the Wrexham City transport network. The work assesses the effects of major development and strategic transport schemes across the network, supporting understanding of how planned growth and transport interventions may affect movement and network performance. The commissioning organisation is Wrexham County Borough Council, and delivery is in Wrexham. The procurement is classified as a service requirement, with the associated classification describing surveying services. The requirement is relevant to organisations that provide transport modelling, network assessment and related technical analysis for local authorities, particularly where development proposals and strategic transport schemes need to be assessed together. Transport for Wales was selected as the supplier for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 July 2026 to Transport for Wales. It was a direct award below the applicable threshold and was conducted without competition, in line with Wrexham County Borough Council’s financial regulations. The award value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 26 February 2027. There is one completed lot covering the Wrexham City Centre Modelling requirement. The stated basis for the procurement is transport modelling to assess major development and strategic transport schemes across Wrexham City’s transport network. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 24 August 2026. The award is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from Wrexham County Borough Council for specialist transport modelling linked to city-centre development and strategic transport planning. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable future requirements would need credible capability in modelling the effects of major developments and strategic transport schemes across an urban transport network. Relevant strengths would include interpreting development and transport proposals together, assessing network impacts, and producing technically robust analysis for public-sector decision-making. Experience working with councils or transport authorities would help demonstrate an understanding of planning, transport and infrastructure requirements. The selected supplier, Transport for Wales, is a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with substantial organisational capacity for this assignment. Competitors would therefore need to evidence both technical modelling expertise and the resources to deliver a council-facing transport assessment.
