## Summary

The Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is conducting a two-stage procurement process for the "Design Technical and Professional Services Framework," aimed at contributing to various transport planning requirements within the services sector. This initiative is located in Glasgow, UK, and is classified under design consultancy services (CPV code: 79415200). The tender is currently at the planning stage, with the submission deadline for the first stage having ended on 14 December 2021. The expected invitations for the second stage will be dispatched by 10 January 2022. The procurement will follow a selective method, anticipating community benefits throughout the contract period, which may last up to three years with options for renewal.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses that excel in design consultancy, transport planning, and engineering services, especially those familiar with compliance to community benefits criteria. Successful bidders might include large-scale firms in engineering and design, as well as smaller enterprises that can demonstrate relevant experience and capacity through collaboration with larger partners or subcontractors. With various consultancy lots, including transport model development, civil engineering, and equality duties, businesses across a spectrum of engineering disciplines are encouraged to participate, thereby fostering potential growth through strategically aligned projects.
