Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council commissioned design consultancy and public consultation services for phases 2 and 3 of the Mold Road Active Travel Scheme. The work aims to improve opportunities for walking and cycling, strengthen connections along Mold Road and link the route with key destinations, building on earlier WelTAG studies and public consultation. It is a services requirement covering the design and consultation needed to develop the active travel scheme. Delivery is centred on Mold Road in Wrexham. The requirement was run as a mini-competition for suppliers on Lot 1, the multi-disciplinary lot of the SEWTAPS framework, so it is relevant to firms with transport planning, active travel design, stakeholder engagement and public consultation capability, particularly those able to work within a multi-disciplinary team.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded, subject to the standstill period and contract signature. Wrexham County Borough Council selected Arcadis LLP after receiving two bids. The award date is 9 September 2026, with the standstill ending on 18 September 2026 and signature scheduled by 23 September 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £454,678.51 excluding VAT and £545,614.21 including VAT. The award contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 August 2030. The underlying framework mini-competition used an open procedure and electronic submissions were allowed in English or Welsh. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and price at 40%, with the highest quality score and lowest price receiving the maximum scores. The tender closed on 3 August 2026 at noon.

This award indicates sustained demand from Wrexham County Borough Council for multi-disciplinary active travel design and consultation work linked to major route improvements. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience developing walking and cycling schemes, translating previous studies into deliverable designs, and engaging the public and affected stakeholders throughout the design process. The evaluation shows that technical quality carried greater weight than price, so firms should be able to demonstrate a strong, well-structured technical approach as well as competitive commercial management. Relevant capability includes transport and highway design, active travel planning, consultation design and delivery, evidence-led option development, and coordination across several disciplines. Experience of Welsh transport appraisal and WelTAG-informed projects would be directly relevant to this buyer and requirement.
