## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has completed the tender process for significant highway improvements across its major transport corridors, focusing on enhancing infrastructure to accommodate the growing population demands and economic regeneration. The contracting authority is committed to this strategic project, especially considering changes in transport post-COVID-19. The procurement process followed a direct method without competition, as it was below the threshold, and it awarded the contract to STANTEC UK LIMITED, a large-scale supplier, on 30th March 2026. The contract covers services related to transport and traffic modelling, aiming to provide solutions that efficiently manage transport network demands without adverse impacts. The contract commencement date was 30th March 2026, with an expected end date of 28th February 2027, involving business consultancy services based in the UKC12 region. The total gross value of the contract amounts to GBP 85,880.

This project offers significant opportunities for growth for companies specialising in transport modelling and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in strategic infrastructure improvements. Businesses adept at providing technical capabilities and resource management for such projects can benefit from engaging with public authorities like Middlesbrough Council. Since the contract utilises direct procurement below the competition threshold, smaller businesses meeting these criteria have avenues to leverage their niche expertise intelligently. Collaborations with sub-central government bodies provide a blueprint for further opportunities, facilitating entry into similar public sector projects across varied regions in the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Middlesbrough Council is looking to make a number of strategic highway improvements along major transport corridors in the Borough; ensuring that the infrastructure in place is accounting for the demands of the population. This is particularly pertinent given the Council's ambitions to increase the number of homes in the south and west of the Borough, growing the local economy and regenerating the town, given the likely changes in transport following the COVID 19 pandemic implications. To achieve this, transport and traffic modelling must be undertaken, to identify the most valid solutions without detrimentally impacting upon the transport network as a whole. The software, technical capabilities and resourcing required to undertake this task is not available within the local authority, and a consultant is therefore required to undertake this task.
