## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council procured route option review and feasibility work for the A41. This is a highways consultancy services requirement, covering the assessment of route options and the feasibility of potential highway schemes. The work is delivered in the South East of England. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is categorised as services. It concerns specialist advisory and analytical work rather than construction, infrastructure delivery or routine maintenance. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are those that provide highways consultancy, route appraisal and feasibility services for public-sector transport schemes, particularly where work must be undertaken in or relate to the South East. The requirement is focused on the A41 rather than a general highways support service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids had to be submitted by 21 January 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to AECOM LIMITED on 10 June 2026 for £169,350. The contract period runs from 11 June 2026 to 2 December 2026. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one awarded requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The opportunity was classified as a services contract for highways consultancy. The council recorded the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the intended supplier profile was established and specialist rather than smaller or community-based.

This award provides a clear example of Oxfordshire County Council buying specialist consultancy for a named strategic route, with a defined feasibility and route-options scope. Suppliers considering comparable future work for this buyer would need credible highways consultancy capability, including route option assessment and feasibility analysis for transport infrastructure schemes. The selected supplier was a large organisation, and the call-off was made from a framework, so relevant competitors would also need access to the appropriate framework route and the capacity to deliver public-sector advisory work. A business with experience supporting highway authorities, assessing competing route solutions and producing robust feasibility evidence would be better placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
