Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned highways consultancy services for the construction stage of the A320 North of Woking HIF Project. The work supports highway improvement works after the design stage and includes continued technical input during construction. The appointed consultant is required to respond to design queries from the construction contractor and statutory undertakers or utility companies, and to address Surrey County Council planning queries arising from third-party enquiries or changes needed because of unforeseen circumstances. The work is delivered in Surrey, centred on the A320 north of Woking. This is a services requirement for a single, completed lot, relevant to firms providing highways engineering, construction-stage design support, utility coordination and planning advice for highway schemes.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Surrey County Council selected ARCADIS CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED, and the award remains active. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its value is £173,099.17 excluding VAT, or £207,719 including VAT. The award covers the full requirement as one lot. The procurement was below threshold, using a method recorded as unknown, and the tender is marked complete. The award was for services and was evaluated through the procurement process that resulted in the appointment of the existing scheme designer and planning agent. The contract provides construction-stage consultancy support rather than the physical highway construction works.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for specialist highways consultancy during the transition from design into construction. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience supporting live highway improvement projects, resolving design queries for contractors and utility companies, and advising a local authority on planning issues during construction. The appointed supplier had already designed the scheme and acted as the council’s planning agent, showing the value placed on detailed knowledge of the project, continuity of technical advice and the ability to respond to unforeseen changes. Relevant firms are therefore likely to be established highways consultants with construction-stage engineering capability, utility-interface experience and practical planning expertise, able to support both delivery teams and public-sector planning functions.
