Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned a feasibility study for pedestrian and cycle improvements between Lark Hill and Crab Hill. The requirement is a professional services assignment covering feasibility assessment, analysis and advisory work for an active travel infrastructure scheme. Delivery is in Oxfordshire, with the council as the public-sector buyer. The procurement concerns one complete service requirement rather than separately described goods or construction works. It is relevant to transport planning consultancies, active travel specialists, walking and cycling infrastructure advisers, and firms with experience assessing the deliverability of local highway or mobility improvements. The work is a study and advisory commission, not the construction or installation of the proposed pedestrian and cycle improvements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Urban Movement Limited, was selected for the feasibility study. The award was made on 22 July 2026, when the contract was also signed. The contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 28 December 2026, with a possible one-year extension taking the maximum end date to 27 December 2027. Its value is £18,537.50 excluding VAT, or £22,245 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for the Lark Hill to Crab Hill study. The published outcome records the winning supplier and an active contract; no separate evaluation weighting or selection requirements are stated in the procurement outcome.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for specialist active travel feasibility advice at a modest consultancy scale. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to assess pedestrian and cycling improvement schemes, develop evidence-based feasibility analysis and provide practical advice to a local authority. Relevant capability is likely to include transport planning, active travel design appraisal, route assessment, stakeholder and options analysis, and clear reporting that supports public-sector investment decisions. Urban Movement Limited is identified as an SME supplier, indicating that this type of professional services commission can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a major multidisciplinary contractor. Firms with proven local-authority feasibility experience and the capacity to manage a defined study assignment would be well placed for similar requirements from Oxfordshire County Council.
