A public consultation on preferred ZEZ and Connecting Oxford schemes. Planned for June and July 2022. II. A local decision to approve implementation of the final ZEZ and Connecting Oxford traffic filters, and to make a request to the Department for Transport (DfT) for approval of the final Connecting Oxford WPL. Planned for November 2022. III. A decision to approve implementation of the Connecting Oxford WPL by the Secretary of State (DfT). Assumed to take six months from November 2022. The Commission covers a range of different tasks as listed below and set out in more detail within the Specification. This will require an experienced team of specialists from different technical backgrounds and who will need to work together in a coordinated way to ensure successful delivery of the work and the Councils' overall aim in delivering the ZEZ and Connecting Oxford schemes effectively and in the quickest possible timeframe. Business case development ZEZ and WPL income forecasting Final scheme development and scheme appraisals Data collection and research Highway design Bus service planning Oxford LCWIP update Development of ZEZ and WPL 5- and 10-year Revenue Plans Project management and co-ordination Public consultation support The Councils expect all members of the proposed Consultants team to have significant and relevant skills and experience.

In this present instance, the Customer is issuing this Invitation to Tender as a Further Competition under Lot 5, Highways, Traffic and Transport of ESPO Framework 664_21.
