Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) has awarded a contract for the development of the 'WNC Smart Travel Corridors' project to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited. The project falls under the industry category of development consultancy services (CPV code: 73220000) and aims to implement the Council's Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) for 2024-2025. The initiative will focus on improving bus performance, traffic signal priority, and facilities for walking and cycling across five key corridors in Northampton: Harborough Road, Kettering Road, London Road, Bedford Road, and Towcester Road. The contract, valued at £52,000, commenced on 11th November 2024 and will continue until 31st May 2025. The procurement method employed was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender process has progressed to the award stage as of 4th November 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in urban planning, civil engineering, and public transportation consultancy. SMEs are particularly well-suited for this project, given that the council has indicated a preference for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) during the tender process. The 'WNC Smart Travel Corridors' project requires expertise in traffic management, urban infrastructure improvement, and public engagement, making it ideal for firms with experience in these areas. The scope of work, including producing a comprehensive Programme Case For Change and Corridor Proforma Reports, as well as developing a public-facing Communications Brief, offers a valuable platform for businesses to showcase their capabilities and contribute to meaningful improvements in local public transport infrastructure.

WNC Smart Travel Corridors

Notice Description

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) recently approved its new Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) in June of 2024. The plan lays out multiple actions in its programme for 2024-2025. The plan comprises several programmes, including: * A Bus Performance Programme that aims to "improve bus performance, traffic signal priority and improved facilities for walking and cycling with strengthened parking and bus lane enforcement" in the following five corridors in Northampton: o Harborough Road o Kettering Road o London Road o Bedford Road o Towcester Road These corridors were already identified in the 2021 BSIP as the ones with the greatest journey time variability and where bus priority interventions would provide the greatest benefit. The following deliverables will be provided: * Programme Case For Change - summarise the key findings from Task 1 and the outcome of objective setting in Task 2 into a document which will enable Council officers to establish the corridor schemes within the Council's wider capital programme; * Corridor Proforma Reports - produce a report for the corridors in a format agreed with the client. This will set out each intervention to be considered, the rationale for the intervention, the opportunities and constraints and its alignment with the objectives in the Case For Change and wider government policies; * Communications Brief - produce a document which identifies the key benefits of the corridor programme and a recommended approach to communicating this to residents and stakeholders. We would be available to provide public-facing material on agreement of an additional fee.
