## Summary

Erewash Borough Council is seeking transport consultancy to improve strategic access to New Stanton Park. The work is to identify and assess possible transport interventions, establish the case for intervention and define objectives, generate and sift options, then appraise a credible shortlist and recommend which options should proceed to business case and scheme development. The assessment must include a potential new M1 junction at or around the Lows Lane underpass, referred to as J25A, and compare it objectively with alternatives. This is a highways and transport planning assignment, delivered in the East Midlands (CPV 71311210).

The council invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The process reached the tender stage. Suppliers could submit questions until 10 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; offers were due by 20 November 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Bids are assessed on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%.

This commission suits transport consultancies with expertise in strategic transport access, highways planning and economic appraisal of transport options. Suppliers should be able to build an evidence-based case for intervention, set objectives, develop and sift a range of options, assess a credible shortlist and make recommendations that can inform later business case and scheme development. Experience evaluating highway access proposals, including a potential motorway junction, alongside alternative interventions is relevant. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller or mission-led consultancies may compete. The work calls for a suitably qualified transport consultant; the stated scope indicates a focused appraisal commission rather than construction delivery.
