Overview
Sheffield City Council (SCC) is seeking to commission consultants to support the development of a Parking and Kerbside Strategy for the city. The strategy will establish a clear policy framework for managing parking and kerbside space across Sheffield, recognising that the kerbside is a finite and valuable part of the highway network that must support multiple uses including accessibility, movement, servicing, public realm and environmental objectives.

- Likely to require experience in transport planning, parking policy, or urban strategy (confirm in full specification)

- Understanding of kerbside management and competing demands on highway space
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Develop a comprehensive Parking and Kerbside Strategy policy framework for Sheffield

- Conduct stakeholder engagement and consultation
- Provide evidence-based recommendations on policy priorities
How to Read This Tender
- 1Look for the 'Contract Value' and 'Duration' sections — this tells you the budget and how long the project runs (usually 6-18 months for strategy work)
- 2Find the 'Specification' or 'Scope of Services' document — this will detail exactly what the council expects the strategy to cover and what outputs (reports, recommendations, etc.) you must deliver
- 3Check for 'Evaluation Criteria' — this shows how the council will score bids (often: experience 30%, methodology 40%, price 30% — adjust your bid to address these weighted areas)
- 4Identify any 'Key Dates' for submission, clarification questions, and start date — missing deadlines disqualifies you automatically
- 5Review 'Terms and Conditions' carefully — note liability limits, insurance requirements, and any specific council policies you must follow
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you lack transport planning expertise, consider partnering with a specialist subcontractor or forming a consortium with a larger planning firm — councils value relevant experience, and you can win by being the local delivery partner
- Emphasise 'Social Value' heavily in your bid (e.g., local jobs, community engagement, environmental benefits) — many councils now score this at 10-20% of marks, and SMEs often score well here if you outline genuine local impact
- Ask for clarification questions in writing before bidding — councils must answer publicly, and you'll learn critical details other bidders might miss (e.g., budget range, stakeholder list, expected consultation scale)
