## Summary

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council procured consultancy support for its approved EVI scheme under the CRSTS programme. The requirement was to turn the approved scheme into a package ready for procurement. The work covers preparing contract and tender documentation, developing site packaging and procurement information, and producing a stakeholder engagement plan. This is a professional business and management consultancy service, rather than construction or direct delivery of electric vehicle infrastructure. The contracting authority is Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, based in Ashton-under-Lyne, and the services relate to delivery in the Tameside area of Greater Manchester. The requirement was structured as a single service lot and is relevant to consultancies experienced in transport, infrastructure or public-sector procurement preparation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Steer Davies & Gleave Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026, with delivery running from 13 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £27,825 excluding VAT, or £33,390 including VAT. The published outcome identifies the service as business and management consultancy. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The contract title is EVI Consultancy - CRSTS. The award relates to the council’s requirement for procurement-ready documentation, site packaging and procurement information, and stakeholder engagement planning for the approved scheme.

This award indicates demand from Tameside for specialist consultancy that can bridge scheme development and public procurement. Businesses well placed for similar work would need to turn an approved infrastructure or transport scheme into clear, usable tender documentation, define how sites or work packages should be structured, and explain the procurement approach in a way that supports delivery. Experience of public-sector contracting, infrastructure procurement and stakeholder management would be commercially relevant. Credible competitors would also need to coordinate technical, commercial and engagement inputs into one procurement-ready package, working within a council’s governance and approval environment. The requirement is suited to established business or management consultancies with practical experience preparing tenders and packaging complex, site-based programmes.
