The requirement is for technical support relating to highways, traffic and transport, rather than construction works or the supply of physical goods. The service is delivered for the Council in Birmingham, with the procurement identifying the United Kingdom as a delivery location. The buying organisation is Birmingham City Council, based at Council House, Birmingham. The procurement sits within the highways consultancy services category and was arranged as a further competition under the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation Consultancy Services Framework Agreement, Highways, Traffic and Transport lot. It therefore relates to specialist professional advice and technical support for a public-sector highways authority. The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Birmingham City Council used a selective procurement route described as a restricted procedure, through the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation Consultancy Services Framework Agreement, reference 664_25 Lot 5. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. Ove Arup & Partners Ltd was awarded the contract on 30 June 2026 for £960,000, with the award covering 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The tender records a three-year service period ending on 30 June 2029. This was a single awarded requirement for highways technical support, and the published outcome identifies Ove Arup & Partners Ltd as the active supplier. This award demonstrates demand from Birmingham City Council for substantial, specialist highways technical support delivered through a recognised consultancy framework. Businesses considering future work of this kind would need demonstrable capability in highways, traffic and transport consultancy, together with the technical capacity to support a council-wide requirement over a sustained period. The route also shows the importance of access to the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation Consultancy Services Framework Agreement, particularly its Highways, Traffic and Transport lot. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so competitors would need the scale, established professional resources and relevant public-sector delivery experience expected for a major highways consultancy commission. ## Notice Birmingham City Council (the Council) has awarded a further competition exercise contract to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd under the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) Consultancy Services Framework Agreement reference 664_25 Lot 5 Highways, Traffic and Transport for the provision of P3464 Highways Technical Support (Part 2). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06d2a1fd-8c3e-4860-a8eb-967d1c48295b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 1 May 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 1 Jul 2026 - 30 Jun 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £960,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Birmingham City Council | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Postcode area | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 1BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Ove Arup & Partners Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71311210 - Highways consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Aug 2026 at 14:08 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06d2a1fd-8c3e-4860-a8eb-967d1c48295b - 6 Aug 2026 at 14:06 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06d2a1fd-8c3e-4860-a8eb-967d1c48295b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06d2a1fd-8c3e-4860-a8eb-967d1c48295b 6th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
