## Summary

Staffordshire County Council commissioned transport consultancy services to support transport projects requiring the North Staffordshire Multi-Modal Model (NSMM). The work covers transport systems consultancy, including highways consultancy, and is delivered in the West Midlands. The requirement is for specialist advice and modelling support connected with transport planning and project development, rather than the supply of physical works or equipment. The buyer is Staffordshire County Council, based in Stafford. The appointed provider is SWECO UK LIMITED, whose role is to deliver the consultancy specification for the council’s NSMM-related transport projects. Businesses relevant to this requirement are transport consultancies with experience applying multi-modal transport models and advising on highways or wider transport schemes in the West Midlands.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Staffordshire County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to SWECO UK LIMITED on 13 August 2026 for £500,000 excluding VAT as the upper contract limit. The award description says anticipated spending over the agreement length is circa £200,000, with the higher limit allowing flexibility if ongoing projects need to be extended. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, including an option to extend the initial two-year period by one further 12-month period. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Staffordshire County Council for specialist consultancy linked to the North Staffordshire Multi-Modal Model and transport project development. A credible future competitor would need established capability in transport systems modelling, highways consultancy and the interpretation of model outputs for practical transport schemes. It would also need to manage consultancy assignments across the West Midlands and support projects over a sustained programme, including the flexibility to continue work as requirements develop. The selected supplier was classified as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Experience delivering comparable modelling-led advice to public-sector transport clients would therefore be commercially relevant when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
