## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council procured professional movement-planning services for its Ellesmere Port Movement project. The stated scope is limited to the project name; the procurement is classified as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000). The work is associated with Ellesmere Port, England. The council is the buyer, and the requirement is for services rather than goods or construction works. The project title indicates a focus on movement in Ellesmere Port, but the procurement description does not set out particular transport modes, infrastructure, deliverables or technical tasks. Suppliers should therefore understand this as a local movement-planning requirement, while recognising that the published scope gives no further breakdown of the work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Steer Davies & Gleave Ltd, trading as Steer. The council used an open procedure. The award was made on 8 October 2026 and is valued at £300,000. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender deadline was 1 October 2026. The tender estimate and awarded value are both £300,000. This is a single award, with no lots described. The evaluation criteria are not stated in the available procurement details. The tender records that the opportunity was unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council for professional services connected with movement planning in Ellesmere Port. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show relevant expertise in planning and assessing movement, and the ability to deliver a defined local project for a public-sector client. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that the work was placed with a supplier operating at larger scale; the tender also recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Firms considering comparable work should assess whether they can match the capability and delivery capacity needed for a council-led movement project, and whether their experience is specific to the local transport and planning context. The published scope does not identify particular technical outputs or required accreditations.
