Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned preliminary design work for two active travel schemes: cycle routes from Berinsfield to Oxford and from Wheatley to Oxford. The work is highways and infrastructure consultancy, focused on developing the schemes at the preliminary design stage. The routes are in Oxfordshire, serving Berinsfield, Oxford and Wheatley.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. PJA Civil Engineering Limited was selected through a limited competition using the Council’s request-for-quotation route. The procurement was divided into one lot. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs to 8 March 2027, with an option to extend by up to three months in total. Its value is £114,590 excluding VAT (£137,508 including VAT).

This award shows demand from Oxfordshire County Council for consultancy to develop active travel schemes, specifically cycle routes, at preliminary design stage. A credible competitor would need highways and infrastructure consultancy capability and the capacity to deliver design work across routes connecting multiple places. The selected supplier is a civil engineering consultancy, indicating that relevant engineering expertise is well aligned with the requirement. The work was awarded through a limited request-for-quotation competition, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be prepared to respond to that type of procurement route.
