Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority commissioned architectural and engineering design services to take the preliminary plans for the redevelopment of Otley Bus Station through to detailed design. The work also includes completing surveys needed to develop the design. It is a focused design and survey commission for a specific bus station project, rather than a contract to carry out the redevelopment works. The delivery location is Otley, in West Yorkshire. The scope spans architectural design, design consultancy and support, highways engineering and engineering design, with the design development and surveys serving the station’s redevelopment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Pick Everard, with an award date of 8 September 2026. The award value is £104,596. The contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 8 April 2027. West Yorkshire Combined Authority used a restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 17 July 2026 at noon. This was a single design-services requirement, with no separate lots identified. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the work was categorised as services. The award is recorded as active; no separate contract signature or completion outcome is stated.

For firms competing when West Yorkshire Combined Authority next procures this requirement, the evidence points to a need for a joined-up design team able to review preliminary proposals and develop them into a detailed design for a bus station redevelopment. Credible suppliers will need to plan and deliver the surveys that inform that design, and bring relevant architectural, engineering and design-consultancy capability, including highways expertise. The commission was a defined, time-limited piece of professional services work, rather than construction, so a supplier’s strength lies in design development and survey coordination. The buyer considered the requirement suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller practices may be credible competitors if they can demonstrate the necessary breadth of expertise and capacity for this project-specific commission.
