## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council commissioned a review of the Mayor’s Vision for Transport for the East Midlands Combined County Authority. The work is consultancy covering business analysis, transport systems and business development. The stated purpose is to review the transport vision; the procurement description does not set out specific work products or delivery locations beyond England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Reed Talent Solutions Limited, trading as Consultancy+, through a direct award using YPO 1141. The award was made on 2 June 2026. The contract runs from 15 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its awarded value is £92,700. The stated tender submission deadline was 25 May 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part. The published information does not state evaluation criteria or divide the requirement into lots.

For firms competing when this buyer next seeks a review of its transport vision, relevant strengths include business analysis and transport systems consultancy, alongside the ability to assess a regional authority’s strategic transport plans. The associated business development consultancy classification indicates that business development expertise was also relevant to this commission. The awarded supplier was a large company, although SMEs were considered suitable for the procurement, suggesting the requirement was not restricted to large organisations. The route used was a direct award through YPO 1141, so familiarity with this purchasing route would be commercially pertinent. The procurement shows demand for a focused consultancy review for the East Midlands Combined County Authority; firms with a credible track record in transport strategy review and analytical consultancy would be well placed to compete for a similar requirement.
