## Summary

Bassetlaw District Council commissioned consultancy services to prepare the Bassetlaw Transport Study for Bassetlaw District. The work is intended to provide evidence needed to meet the Local Plan timetable, a council corporate priority. The stated scope covers stages 1 and 2 of the study, with stage 3 to be defined after the earlier evidence work and on terms to be agreed. The delivery location is Bassetlaw, in the East Midlands. This is transport planning and evidence-gathering consultancy rather than transport infrastructure or service delivery. The procurement is managed by Bassetlaw District Council, based in Worksop.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tetra Tech on 16 August 2026. It was run as a selective call-off from the ESPO 664/25 framework. The award value is £84,000; the original tender description states £70,000 plus VAT. The contract period runs from 16 August 2026 to 15 August 2027. The stated submission deadline was 15 August 2026. The process is marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available details do not state evaluation criteria, so no basis for comparing bids can be summarised. The award covers the Bassetlaw Transport Study, with the scope for stage 3 subject to agreement following stages 1 and 2.

For consultants competing for comparable work from Bassetlaw District Council, this award shows demand for transport planning expertise that can produce robust evidence to support the Local Plan timetable. Credible suppliers would need to develop the first two study stages and be able to shape a subsequent third stage in response to their findings, with scope and terms agreed as the work progresses. The council selected a supplier through an established framework call-off, so framework access and the ability to compete through that route are commercially relevant. The contract went to a large consultancy, while the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Firms of different sizes may therefore be relevant where they can demonstrate the transport-study capability and manage staged consultancy delivery.
