Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Council procured a term highways design and management consultancy service for Wiltshire. The appointed consultant is required to help produce and manage the successful delivery of highway schemes, ensure compliance with statutory and legal requirements, and undertake additional design and planning projects as needed. The service includes acting as principal designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. This is a professional highways consultancy and infrastructure management requirement, rather than construction works or routine maintenance. The contract covers activity across Wiltshire and is intended to support the Council’s wider highway programme. It may suit engineering consultancies, transport planners, infrastructure advisers and organisations with experience managing public highway schemes.

The procurement has reached the award stage following a two-stage competitive flexible procedure using the selective method. Four valid bids were received and WSP UK Limited was selected for the single completed lot. The award date was 27 July 2026, with a gross value of £240,000,000 (£200,000,000 excluding tax). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2032, with possible extension to 30 November 2036 under a 2+2 renewal arrangement. A standstill period ends on 6 August 2026, and contract signature is scheduled for 30 September 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 45%, sustainability at 15%, social value at 10% and financial considerations at 30%. NEC Options A, C or E may apply.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Wiltshire Council for integrated highways consultancy and management capability. Competitors seeking to pursue a future requirement of this type would need credible experience delivering comparable highway design and management services, including evidence sufficient to pass the Council’s conditions of participation and any pass-or-fail questions. Relevant capability includes developing highway schemes, managing their delivery, providing design and planning expertise, and meeting statutory and legal requirements. Principal designer competence under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 is important. Strong submissions would also need to address quality, sustainability and social value alongside price, with the requirement identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Experience working with NEC Options A, C or E would be commercially relevant.
