## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has finalised a contract entitled "S30047 TRST3083 - Lane Rental Scheme Application Assessment", aimed at assessing applications from Highway Authorities for the Lane Rental Scheme. This procurement, valued at £150,278.59, falls under the Development Consultancy Services category and pertains to a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract, overseen by National Highways Limited, spans from 17th December 2025 to the end of December 2027 and primarily covers the United Kingdom and other regions. With the procurement stage in the award phase, the tender period concluded on 5th December 2025, leading to the active award publication on 16th December 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in development consultancy services, particularly those equipped to handle transport scheme assessments and that can ensure consistent application of road network guidelines. SMEs stand to benefit greatly from this framework, though the contract has been awarded to WSP UK Limited, a large-scale supplier. The tender forms part of DfT's broader mission to enhance transportation networks across the UK, thus supporting economic growth and encouraging businesses to contribute to creating a reliable, sustainable transport system. Businesses with expertise in managing increased workloads and providing efficient consultancy in the transport sector are well-suited to engage with such opportunities.

## Notice

Department for Transport (DfT), hereafter referred to as DfT, seeks to appoint a contractor to support the assessment of Lane Rental Scheme applications submitted by Highway Authorities. A surge of up to 20 applications is expected in October 2025, following updated guidance issued in April 2025. The contractor will assist in implementing a lighter-touch review process, ensure consistency in applying the 10% network coverage threshold by road length, and help manage the increased workload within existing departmental resource constraints. We may accept schemes with higher than 10% if they provide sufficient evidence. The DfT aims to develop and deliver a transport network that works for everyone. People want reliable, comfortable and affordable journeys. Through its investment, DfT aims to make people's journeys better, faster, and easier both for today, and in the future. DfT is also helping to support the economy and the interests of the whole of the UK, to create a safer, more secure and sustainable transport system.
