UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured consultancy services to produce Road Safety Audits for new highway works and schemes in Leicester. The requirement covers Stage 1 audits at the preliminary design stage, Stage 2 audits at the detailed design stage and Stage 3 audits after construction is complete. For simpler schemes, Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits may be undertaken together to reduce time and cost. This is specialist highway engineering and construction consultancy work, classified under CPV 71310000. The procurement was arranged as one requirement, with delivery linked to the council’s highway schemes. It would suit firms providing formal road safety audit services alongside highway design, engineering or construction consultancy expertise.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Leicester City Council selected BWB Consulting Ltd for the road safety audit requirement, with the award recorded as active. The award date and contract signing date were 16 September 2026. The contract runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £83,333 excluding VAT and £99,999 including VAT. The contract covers one requirement rather than separate awarded lots. The appointed consultant is responsible for delivering the audit stages required for highway works, including the option to combine Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits for suitable simple schemes.

This award demonstrates a recurring council need for structured road safety auditing across the full highway project lifecycle, from preliminary design through detailed design and post-construction review. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Road Safety Audits, with sufficient technical capacity to support multiple highway schemes and to combine early audit stages efficiently where the design is straightforward. Relevant highway engineering and construction consultancy experience would strengthen a future response. The requirement is particularly relevant to established road safety audit practices and multidisciplinary engineering firms able to integrate audit work with highway design and communicate clear findings to a local authority.
