Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council commissioned continued consultancy support for its bus stop infrastructure improvement programme. The work concerns advising on and supporting improvements to bus stop infrastructure, rather than supplying buses or delivering general transport services. It is classified as infrastructure works consultancy services (CPV 71311300). The relevant delivery area is West Northamptonshire, with the council based in Northampton. The procurement was arranged as one lot covering ongoing support for bus stop improvements. This requirement is relevant to consultancies with expertise in transport or civil infrastructure and the ability to support a local authority’s programme of bus stop upgrades.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Haskoning UK Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 21 September 2026, at a value of £999,999.99. The award date and contract period are not recorded in the process data. West Northamptonshire Council used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, on the stated rationale that ongoing support was needed for bus infrastructure improvements; the rationale classification says the procurement fell outside the directive’s scope. The single lot’s stated award criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active.

This award demonstrates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for continued specialist consultancy support to improve bus stop infrastructure. Haskoning UK Ltd, recorded as an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller consultancy was capable of winning this requirement. A credible competitor when comparable support is next required would need relevant infrastructure consultancy expertise and the capacity to provide ongoing programme support to a council. Price was the stated award criterion, so a competitive offer would need to demonstrate value as well as a clear fit with bus stop improvement work. The contract’s substantial scale suggests suppliers should be prepared to sustain support across an infrastructure programme, rather than offer a one-off piece of advice.
