## Summary

Luton Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the development of its fifth Local Transport Plan (LTP5). The project, titled "AT1309 - Local Transport Plan," falls under the category of transport services, excluding waste transport, with additional focus on research and development, and business services. The procurement stage is at the award phase as of 8th August 2024, with a total project value of £135,000 awarded to Steer Davies Gleave. The contract period is set to start on 19th August 2024 and will conclude on 27th February 2026. The process used an open procedure, ensuring fair competition and transparency. The scope of the project includes the development of an Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) and a Quantifiable Carbon Reduction (QCR) tool, both crucial for Luton’s strategic planning in transport infrastructure.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy, research and development, and professional services to expand their portfolio. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited for this project, given its emphasis on strategic planning and environmental impact. By participating in such contracts, businesses can not only gain financial benefits but also enhance their expertise and credibility in the field of transport services, thereby positioning themselves as key players in future public procurement opportunities.

## Notice

As the local transport authority (LTA) and highway authority for Luton, the council is required to prepare a Local Transport Plan (LTP). The LTP is a statutory planning document which the council is required to produce in line with the Transport Act 2000 and Local Transport Act 2008. The LTP sets out strategies for improving transport networks, identifies projects for investment and plans how key objectives will be achieved. The LTP is a vital tool to help the council work with stakeholders to strengthen its placemaking role, plan and deliver transport infrastructure and access grant funding. Luton Council is about to embark on the development of its fifth Local Transport Plan (LTP5) and is seeking to appoint a consultant to develop this document and supplementary Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) and Quantifiable Carbon Reduction (QCR) tool to support this. The council adopted its Local Transport Plan 4 in 2021. Since then, the Department for Transport's Decarbonising Transport Plan set out the requirement that all local transport authorities begin work on updating their local transport plan by the end of this parliament.
