## Summary

The public procurement contracting authority, National Highways, has completed the award stage of its procurement process for the "T0660 Route Strategies WP 2 - Route Strategy Programme Oversight, Engagement and Comms" project. This project falls under the industry category of development consultancy services (CPV: 73220000) and is valued at £124,588.13. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 15th April 2025 to 31st March 2026, covering services to be delivered across various regions including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. Notably, this finalisation follows a series of engagements and preparations for the publication of route strategies, focusing on stakeholder management, programme office closure, and spatial planning integration.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in stakeholder engagement, governance design, and strategic planning. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this contract particularly suitable given the nature of the scope, although the victorious supplier, Costain Limited, is a large-scale business. Companies looking to enhance their services in public sector consultancy will benefit from the exposure and potential learnings in handling high-level strategic oversight and programme management. This procurement indicates a robust market for expert consultancy services that aim to enhance national infrastructure planning and community engagement.
