Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned highways engineering consultancy to design strengthening works for a short section of retaining wall at Cypress Crescent. The wall supports private property beside a flight of highway steps. The requirement is a focused design assignment rather than construction of the wall itself. It forms a call-off from Lot A of the council’s Gen5 Consult Transport, Highways and Infrastructure Consultancy Framework, which covers 2026 to 2030. The work is associated with the council’s highways network in Hampshire; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery address. The relevant service is highways engineering and consultancy, covering assessment and design of measures to strengthen retaining structures supporting the public highway.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ATKINSRÉALIS UK LIMITED. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026, running from that date to 4 December 2026. Its value is £18,502.50 excluding VAT and £22,203 including VAT. The council made a below-threshold call-off under its existing Gen5 consultancy framework, using a selective route; the call-off was not competitive. The requirement was handled as one lot. The published data gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the award outcome is the available basis for understanding how the supplier was selected.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for targeted highways engineering design, specifically strengthening retaining walls that support the highway beside private property. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show relevant civil or structural engineering capability, including the assessment of retaining structures and development of practical strengthening designs in a live highway setting. Experience working with highway constraints and interfaces with adjoining private property would be directly relevant. The work is a small, focused consultancy assignment rather than a major construction package, so suppliers should be able to deliver a defined design task efficiently. The buyer used its Gen5 consultancy framework for this call-off, making framework access relevant to competing for comparable council requirements.
