## Summary

Staffordshire County Council procured a technical study to support preparatory work for a new statutory Spatial Development Strategy. The work concerns strategic growth corridors and falls within highways consultancy services, covering technical advice and analysis relevant to transport and spatial development planning. Delivery is in the West Midlands. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction or routine highway maintenance. It would suit consultancies able to investigate transport and highway implications of planned growth, develop evidence for strategic planning, and present findings that can support the preparation of a statutory development strategy. The council is the buyer and the requirement was structured as a call-off from the YPO 1141_23 framework for managing consultancy and professional services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the YPO 1141_23 framework. The award was made on 17 July 2026 to Reed Specialist Recrutiment for £65,000. The contract runs from 25 July 2026 to 30 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 17 July 2026 at 12:00. The published scope identifies highways consultancy services, with the contract covering a technical study for the Spatial Development Strategy preparatory work. The award is recorded as active, with one supplier identified. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available procurement information describes the procedure and scope but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

For a supplier that did not win this call-off, the procurement shows Staffordshire County Council’s demand for specialist consultancy supporting strategic growth and statutory spatial planning in the West Midlands. A credible competitor would need demonstrable highways and transport consultancy capability, with the technical depth to assess the infrastructure implications of growth corridors and produce robust evidence for a Spatial Development Strategy. Experience of public-sector planning, transport modelling or appraisal, corridor studies, strategic infrastructure assessment and clear technical reporting would strengthen a future response. Suppliers should also be able to work within a public-sector framework call-off, manage a focused study to an agreed scope, and translate complex analysis into advice that supports statutory decision-making. The requirement is suitable for SMEs with relevant specialist capacity.
