Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned consultancy services for the Oxford Parkway Master Plan and Oxford Road active travel and public transport improvements. The requirement covers highways consultancy supporting transport planning and improvement work associated with Oxford Parkway and Oxford Road. Delivery is in Oxfordshire, England. The council is a local public authority and the buyer for the requirement. The scope relates to planning and developing road, active travel and public transport improvements, rather than construction works themselves. Suppliers with capability in highways consultancy and transport master planning would find this relevant, particularly those working across walking, cycling, public transport and highway networks in Oxfordshire or comparable areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Steere Davies and Gleave. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 10 June 2026 and runs from 10 June to 30 June 2026, with a maximum possible end date of 30 December 2026. Its value is £118,684 excluding VAT, or £142,421 including VAT. The contract is active and includes an extension option for delay, as well as the ability to request additional services, such as further data requirements identified through gap analysis. The awarded service is classified as highways consultancy. No separate award date is recorded; the signed contract date provides the recorded outcome date.

This award indicates demand from Oxfordshire County Council for specialist highways consultancy linked to a major transport master plan and active travel and public transport improvements. Competitors would need to demonstrate credible transport planning capability across highway, walking, cycling and public transport requirements, with the ability to contribute to strategic master planning as well as defined improvement projects. The requirement also points to a need for consultants able to identify data gaps and provide additional analysis when required. Larger multidisciplinary transport consultancies may be well placed, while smaller firms with strong highways, active travel or public transport expertise could be relevant where they can provide the necessary analytical and delivery capacity for the council’s programme.
