Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned highway development-control consultancy. The work is to provide technical highway assessments of proposed developments and advise whether each development is acceptable from a highways perspective. It is a specialist highways consultancy service (CPV 71311210), awarded through the Midland Highway Alliance Plus framework’s consultancy services lot. The procurement is for the council’s highway development-control needs, with delivery locations recorded across England. The requirement focuses on assessing development proposals and their highway implications, rather than general transport planning or construction works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Amey OW. The council used a limited procedure without a prior competition, calling off the Midland Highway Alliance Plus framework. The award was made on 7 September 2023 at framework level; this contract was signed on 1 May 2026. The contract value is £125,885.31. The framework has a four-year duration with options to extend for two further periods of up to two years each. Evaluation under the framework weighted quality at 60% and cost at 40%. Four bids were recorded for the lot. The tender lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For future highway development-control requirements from Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, credible suppliers will need demonstrable capability to assess the highway effects of proposed developments and provide technically robust advice on their acceptability. The award went to a large consultancy selected through an established regional highway framework, indicating that framework membership and a strong comparative position against other framework suppliers matter for this route. The recorded evaluation gave greater weight to quality than cost, so relevant technical expertise and the ability to deliver dependable assessments are important alongside competitive pricing. The requirement is focused on development-related highway response for a local authority; suppliers whose experience is limited to unrelated transport services or highway construction would be less directly aligned.
