## Summary

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured specialist civil engineering consultancy services for the development of outline designs for the Penistone Footbridge and Car Park, and the Barnsley Interchange Platform Extension. The appointed consultant is also to provide client support through design stages ES5 to ES8. The work covers public transport and access infrastructure, including a footbridge, car park and interchange platform extension. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, centred on Barnsley. The procurement is categorised as services and is relevant to civil engineering consultancies, infrastructure design practices and organisations able to support the client across design development and later project stages.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 August 2026 to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd for £1,641,027. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. It followed a direct award through the NEPRO3 Framework Agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 12:00. The arrangement covers the appointment of a consultant for outline design at ES4 and client support from ES5 through ES8. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The contract is with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, which is both the buyer and the organisation managing the requirement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need demonstrable civil engineering consultancy capability covering outline design and support through successive design stages. Relevant experience is likely to include transport infrastructure interfaces, pedestrian bridges, car parks, interchange facilities and coordination of projects involving public-sector clients. The work also favours organisations able to provide continuing client-side technical support rather than a one-off design submission, with sufficient capacity to remain involved through ES8. This award shows that Barnsley uses the NEPRO3 Framework Agreement and a direct-award route for this type of specialist service, so framework access and the ability to deliver integrated design-stage support would be commercially important.

## Notice

Appointment of Bloom Procurement Services Ltd via the NEPRO3 Framework Agreement to appoint a consultant to deliver support for the development of the Outline design (ES4) for the Penistone Footbridge & Car Park and the Barnsley Interchange Platform Extension, who will also provide client support from ES5 - ES8.
