Gloucestershire Highways Professional Services Procurement 2025

Description

The purpose of a newly procured contract model for professional services from 2025/26 is to put Gloucestershire County Council into the best position to be fit for the future in delivering its objectives. The Council has engaged with suppliers, officers and lead cabinet members to inform a contract form that introduces an element of competition, whilst maintaining competitive tension and attractiveness to market, protecting the TUPE rights of individuals, fostering flexibility and agility and maintaining collaboration between other highways suppliers. Based on these criteria a single supplier arrangement with a specialist supplier framework (to be tendered separately) has been deemed to be the most advantageous option given expected contract spend and the specialist supplier framework is expected to support the local economy.
The Client requires the single supplier Consultant under this model to deliver professional highways consultancy services (Services) in relation to development proposals for all relevant Client’s schemes, including but not limited to dealing with Client’s and / or Local Planning Authorities, Highways Authorities and other Consultees, as more fully described within the Scope.
To deliver its highways schemes the Client requires the services of an external consultant possessing specialist technical skill to supplement and support Client’s in-house teams and the Client’s other providers.
