What the notice says

Erewash Borough Council is seeking a suitably qualified transport consultant to identify and appraise potential interventions for improved strategic transport access to New Stanton Park, develop a shortlist of options, and carry out the economic option appraisal needed for future business case development. The commission will establish the case for intervention, define objectives, generate and sift options, appraise a credible shortlist, and recommend which options, if any, should progress to further business case and scheme development. A potential new M1 junction at or around the Lows Lane underpass (J25A) must be included as one of the options and assessed objectively alongside alternatives. Full details can be found in the invitation to tender pack.
