## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council, acting for Black Country Transport, commissioned highway consultancy support for the A456 Dudley consultation. The work supports development of the scheme’s Outline Business Case: Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has identified the A456 corridor for investment, and consultation is needed so the public and other key stakeholders can comment on the proposed design. The corridor lies in Dudley borough, near the Birmingham and Worcestershire borders. This is a focused transport-planning and stakeholder-engagement assignment rather than construction work. The procurement used an existing framework for consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Haskoning UK Limited on 6 October 2026. The award value is £16,900. The contract period runs from 7 October to 18 December 2026. Wolverhampton City Council made a direct award through the ESPO 664_25 framework, Lot 5. The competition deadline was 5 October 2026. The published information gives no evaluation criteria or selection requirements; the stated purpose of the assignment is to support consultation on the current A456 scheme design as part of the Outline Business Case. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers will need to combine highways consultancy with the ability to support transport business-case development and public consultation on proposed designs. Experience working with local authorities and transport bodies, gathering and handling feedback from the public and other stakeholders, and translating consultation findings into useful input for scheme development would be relevant. The assignment was a focused, short-duration piece of consultancy delivered through a framework, so suppliers competing for similar work should be equipped to mobilise a specialist team for a defined corridor project and work within an established public-sector purchasing route. The award demonstrates demand for this blend of transport planning and stakeholder engagement from Wolverhampton City Council on behalf of Black Country Transport.
