UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Upavon Way place shaping study" was initiated by Oxfordshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Oxford. The procurement, categorised under construction consultancy services, aimed to enhance Upavon Way for non-motorised users. The process followed a limited procurement method for projects below threshold, allowing for limited competition. The contract was awarded on 18 June 2026, with an active period running until 17 December 2026, with an option for a 6-month extension. The project not only complements local infrastructure improvement plans but also supports S106 requests, and it falls under the UKJ14 region.

This tender represents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for large-scale construction consultancy firms that specialise in infrastructure projects and urban planning. Companies like WSP UK Limited, which won the contract, are well-suited to handle such projects, given their expertise in urban development and experience with municipal projects. Other businesses with strong capabilities in designing and implementing enhancements for non-motorised transport paths will find this type of procurement process favouring tailored expertise, enabling specialists in the industry to engage in transformative projects that have a lasting impact on community infrastructure.
