Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned highways consultancy and feasibility work for the B4044 West Way Junction and Link Improvements in Oxfordshire. The scheme aims to improve safety and priority for people walking and cycling at the busy West Way junction, including crossings between West Way and Eynsham Road, where dedicated cycling infrastructure and safe crossing facilities are currently lacking. The commission covers preliminary design development and feasibility review, alongside procurement support, preparation of a technical specification and contract administration. Funding is allocated for preliminary design only. The work supports the Council’s strategic governance review of the scheme and its proposed walking and cycling infrastructure improvements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Pick Everard. Oxfordshire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was for one lot and is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 21 October 2026 to 20 April 2027, with an option described as five months. The contract value is £97,382.66 excluding VAT (£116,859.19 including VAT). The recorded award concerns highways consultancy services and a feasibility study. The published procurement information does not state an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from Oxfordshire County Council for specialist highways consultancy supporting walking and cycling infrastructure schemes. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate the ability to review feasibility and develop preliminary designs for junction and link improvements, with a strong understanding of pedestrian and cycle safety and crossing provision. The requirement also demonstrates the value of being able to support the Council’s strategic governance process, provide procurement support and technical specifications, and administer contracts. The work is a focused preliminary-design commission rather than delivery of construction works, so relevant consultancy capability and experience across these linked project stages are central to competing when this buyer next requires comparable support.
