## Summary

The procurement process led by Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council involves a contract for "Highways Consultancy Support," which focuses on major capital projects in highways, regeneration, and transportation, linked to the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement. The location for the service delivery is primarily within the region of Oldham, UKD37, and the project falls under the industry category of highways consultancy services. This procurement process is at the award stage, signifying that the tender has resulted in a successful contract completion with an initial and extended value totalling £70,569, inclusive of VAT. The contract, executed under a direct procurement method without competition, commenced on 10th July 2025 and concluded on 30th July 2025.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in highways consultancy services. With awards granted to C E Consultancy Ltd and Dawstone Consultancy Limited, both SMEs, the procurement shows a preference for smaller providers, potentially benefiting those who can supply niche expertise in similar projects. Such contracts, especially those bypassing competitive tendering due to being below the threshold, offer strategic footholds for consultancies looking to embed themselves in public sector procurement, especially within the sub-central government infrastructure projects domain.
