UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority intends to commission consultancy to develop a series of transport sub-strategies beneath the Mayor’s Local Transport Plan. This is transport planning and strategy consultancy, rather than the delivery of transport infrastructure or services. The work concerns the York and North Yorkshire area. The authority is consulting the market to understand what resource and budget would be needed to deliver the strategy documents. The planned procurement is presented as a single lot and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Its intended purpose is to provide a set of supporting strategies for the Mayor’s broader transport plan.

The process is at the planning stage: the authority has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is conducting preliminary market engagement to establish likely resource and budget requirements. The authority’s stated engagement deadline is 11 November 2026; this is for market engagement, not a bid submission deadline. The planned contract period runs from 30 April 2027 to 30 April 2028. The procurement is planned as one lot, with consultancy services sought. No procedure, award method, evaluation criteria or contract value is set out at this stage. The engagement deadline was changed from 4 November to 11 November 2026.

This work is likely to suit transport consultancies with the ability to develop strategic documents that fit beneath a wider local transport plan. Firms with experience in transport systems planning and in shaping related strategies for public authorities may be well placed to contribute. The authority is seeking market input on the level of resource and budget needed, so suppliers can help inform its understanding of the scale of work before the procurement reaches tender. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs, which may make it relevant to smaller specialist consultancies as well as larger firms. The stated purpose is strategy development; the authority has not set out specific qualifications, accreditations, technical standards or minimum experience requirements.
