## Summary

This study falls under the Highways consultancy services category (CPV code: 71311210) with additional classification in Construction consultancy services (CPV code: 71530000). The procurement process followed a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure. The study aims to enhance connectivity in the Rowstock area to support housing and employment growth within the Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire districts. The tender period ended on 7th February 2025, and the contract is set to run from 14th April 2025 to 13th April 2026, with a total contract value of £69,790.37.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport consultancy, particularly those focusing on public transit and active travel solutions. SMEs are deemed suitable for this tender, encouraging smaller firms to compete alongside larger counterparts like Systra Ltd. Businesses capable of developing comprehensive transport assessments and feasibility studies will find this contract beneficial for demonstrating expertise and securing further projects in the public sector. The procurement aligns with Oxfordshire County Council's objectives under the Local Transport and Connectivity Plan, providing a strategic pathway for participating firms to contribute to regional development programmes.

## Notice

This commission is to produce an Option Assessment Report (OAR), which will look at connectivity improvements in the Rowstock area to facilitate significant housing and employment growth across the Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire district councils by providing improvements to public transport and active travel. The OAR shall encompass steps 1 to 12 of stages 1 and 2 of the WebTAG guidance on the Transport Appraisal Process. The first task is to review the already produced draft OAR, which is to be used as the basis for this project, then reappraise a sifted long-list of options against objectives derived from OCC's Local Transport and Connectivity Plan (LTCP).
