UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority is planning to commission consultancy to develop a series of transport sub-strategies sitting beneath the Mayor’s Local Transport Plan. The work is transport systems consultancy, focused on producing the supporting strategy documents for York and North Yorkshire. The Combined Authority is seeking market input to understand the likely resources and budget needed to deliver the work. Delivery is across the York and North Yorkshire area. The planned work is presented as a single lot, rather than separate geographic or specialist packages, and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. This is an early-stage commissioning exercise to shape the future project, not an invitation to submit a tender.

The process is at planning stage: the Combined Authority has set out its intention to procure and is undertaking preliminary market engagement to establish the likely resource and budget required. The engagement is expected to run to 4 November 2026; this is a date for market engagement, not a tender submission deadline. The buyer anticipates a contract period from 30 April 2027 to 29 April 2028. The procurement is planned as one lot. No procurement procedure, award method, contract value or budget figure is set out. There are no stated tender evaluation criteria at this stage. The engagement reference is RFI 100115168, and suppliers can register interest through the linked supplier portal.

The work is likely to suit transport planning and strategy consultancies able to develop a coherent suite of transport sub-strategies that align with a mayoral Local Transport Plan. Suppliers with experience in transport systems consultancy, local or regional transport planning, and translating overarching transport policy into focused supporting strategies are well placed to contribute. The buyer is seeking views on the level of delivery resource and budget needed, so firms should be prepared to explain the expertise, team capacity and approach they would bring to developing the documents. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable, and the work is structured as one lot. The engagement provides a chance to inform the buyer’s understanding as it prepares the future procurement; it is not yet a tender competition. No particular accreditation or technical standard is identified.
