## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured specialist highway consultancy services to support its engagement in the design and construction of National Highways’ A66 Northern Trans Pennine project. The work covers professional advice across highway engineering and environmental disciplines, supporting the council’s involvement in this major transport infrastructure project. Delivery is in the North West of England. This is a services contract, classified under CPV 71311210 for highways consultancy services. The requirement would suit organisations providing technical consultancy for road infrastructure schemes, particularly those able to combine engineering advice with environmental expertise and work effectively with a local authority and a national highways organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to WSP UK Limited on 10 April 2026. The awarded contract value is £170,998. The contract runs from 12 June 2026 to 31 March 2028. Bids had to be submitted by 23 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was called off from a framework using the procedure described as “Other - Call off from a Framework”. Westmorland and Furness Council was the buying organisation. The award is active, and the contract covers the full requirement rather than separately identified lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement category was services.

This award indicates demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for specialist support on major highway infrastructure, combining highway engineering and environmental consultancy. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in road design and construction advice, environmental assessment or management, and the ability to coordinate advice across both disciplines. Experience supporting public bodies involved in nationally significant transport programmes would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to provide reliable technical input throughout a long-running project. The successful supplier’s large-company scale also indicates that robust project management, multidisciplinary resources and the ability to work within a public-sector framework call-off are commercially relevant. Smaller consultancies may still be well placed where they can evidence equivalent expertise and delivery capacity.
