Summary of the contracting process

Slough Borough Council has undertaken a direct procurement process, culminating in the awarding of the contract for the “Destination Farnham Road Civil Works”, intended to improve infrastructure through various enhancements including new parking bays with EV charging, cycle routes, and upgraded footways and roads. The project's main procurement category is services, and it involves substantial works across Farnham Road and Sheffield Road in Slough, United Kingdom. The buyer opted for a direct award method due to the technical nature of the works, contracting VolkerFitzptrick Limited, with the framework agreement facilitated by the CCS Framework RM6088, Lot 2.2. The contracting details were finalised on 29th April 2026, with the contract period starting from 13th May 2026 to 2nd March 2028.
