UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cherwell District Council commissioned an infrastructure feasibility study for Heyford, covering infrastructure consultancy services. The work is intended to assess infrastructure requirements and feasibility for the Heyford area. The buyer is Cherwell District Council, a district-level public authority. The contract’s service category is infrastructure works consultancy (CPV 71311300), and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a single, undivided requirement, rather than a set of separately described service lots.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Limited. The council used a below-threshold quotation process; the recorded method does not identify a more specific procedure. The award is active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 6 September to 20 December 2026. Its stated value is £14,916 excluding VAT and £17,899.20 including VAT. The process comprised one lot, which is complete. The published details do not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions, so the basis on which quotations were assessed cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates demand from Cherwell District Council for specialist infrastructure consultancy to assess feasibility for development in Heyford. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show relevant infrastructure planning and feasibility expertise, with the capacity to undertake a focused study and provide advice that supports the council’s decisions. The successful supplier, Ove Arup & Partners Limited, is a large consultancy, indicating that an established multidisciplinary firm was selected for this work. The procurement used a below-threshold quotation route, so suppliers should be equipped to respond to quotation-based competitions as well as demonstrate technical capability. The requirement is a single, defined study rather than a multi-lot programme; relevant experience in comparable infrastructure assessments for local authorities would be directly pertinent.
