Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council commissioned a city-centre parking review. The work examines existing parking supply and demand against projected demand arising from development in the City Centre Master Plan areas and other activity, including cruise parking. This is transport systems consultancy, delivered in Southampton. The requirement concerns assessing how parking provision and demand relate to planned city-centre growth and other sources of parking demand.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Southampton City Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Steer Davies & Gleave Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £29,968 excluding VAT (£35,961.60 including VAT).

For suppliers competing for similar work from Southampton City Council, this award demonstrates demand for focused transport consultancy that can assess city-centre parking supply and demand against planned development and activity such as cruise parking. A credible competitor would need to analyse existing parking provision and projected demand, and connect those findings to the council’s development plans and relevant local activity. The council used a limited competition for this below-threshold service, so experience delivering a defined review of this kind is commercially relevant. The award went to a large consultancy; the work therefore provides evidence of the type of supplier selected, though it does not establish that a particular company size or accreditation is required.
