Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "LCWIP and Active Travel Plan Detailed Design" project. This contract, classified under business services including law, marketing, consulting, and more, involves the development of detailed designs for active travel networks and specific travel infrastructure within the project area. The procurement process was limited and directly awarded without prior publication due to extreme urgency. The award was completed as of 19 February 2025, with the contract valued at £188,000, and the awardee being WSP UK LIMITED, located in London. The project is set within the North East Region, specifically in the area classified as UKC1.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in consulting, design, and infrastructure services. The detailed design project could lead to further collaboration on large-scale transport infrastructure projects in the wider Aykley Heads region. Companies with expertise in sustainable travel infrastructure, urban planning, and consulting services would be particularly well-suited to compete for such projects, as they align with the strategic development goals of regional authorities like Durham County Council. This contract underscores the importance of having available resources to respond quickly to urgent procurement needs, benefiting firms that can demonstrate flexibility and prompt delivery in similar situations.
