UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council procured feasibility, options development and detailed design for improvements at Harrogate junctions, supporting further Harrogate Transforming Cities Fund work. The requirement is an engineering consultancy service for traffic installations, covering the assessment of improvement options and the production of a detailed design. The work is associated with Harrogate and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement formed one completed lot. This opportunity is relevant to transport engineering consultancies, highway design practices and multidisciplinary firms with experience in junction improvement schemes, traffic infrastructure and the progression of feasibility work into deliverable design. It is particularly suited to suppliers able to provide both optioneering and detailed design for local-authority transport projects.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Yorkshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. WSP UK Limited was selected as the supplier for the completed lot. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 30 June to 30 October 2026, with a maximum possible end date of 30 October 2027. Its value is £76,533 excluding VAT, or £91,839.60 including VAT. The contract is active and includes a renewal option described as the potential for detailed design following optioneering. The published outcome identifies traffic-installation engineering design as the service classification. The procurement was below threshold and was not subject to a competitive tender process.

This award provides a clear example of North Yorkshire Council’s demand for transport planning and highway design support around Harrogate junction improvements. A competitor preparing for comparable work would need a credible capability in traffic engineering, junction assessment, options appraisal, feasibility studies and detailed highway or traffic-installation design. The requirement also indicates value in firms that can carry a project from early optioneering through to a design suitable for subsequent delivery, rather than offering only a narrow design discipline. WSP UK Limited is recorded as a large supplier, so competing firms would need sufficient technical capacity and project-management resource to support local-authority infrastructure work. Experience of working with councils and of developing further phases from an initial feasibility commission would strengthen their position.
