## Summary

West Oxfordshire District Council is procuring a complete wayfinding scheme for Witney town centre and the surrounding area. The work covers the design, manufacture and installation of a network of signs and signposts (CPV 34928470 and 34928472), including installation of road signs (CPV 45233290). The scheme is intended to help residents and visitors navigate between key destinations, attractions, services and amenities, while encouraging walking and supporting the town centre’s vitality. It also aims to improve accessibility and inclusivity, promote Witney’s heritage and identity through placemaking and interpretation, support local businesses, and provide durable, low-maintenance public realm assets. The successful contractor will deliver the physical signage network and associated materials, fixings and finishes across Witney.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Submissions were to be made electronically through the Publica Group In-Tend portal, with the tender deadline set for 14 September 2026 at 5:00 pm. The single lot covers a contract period from 5 October 2026 to 5 April 2027. The tender value is stated as £65,000 excluding VAT and £78,000 including VAT. The lot record states the same figures in AED, so suppliers should check the tender documents for the applicable currency. Evaluation is based on quality and price: quality carries 65% of the available score and price 35%. Non-price elements will be assessed by an evaluation panel.

This opportunity suits a contractor or consortium able to take a wayfinding project from design through manufacture and installation. Relevant capability includes developing coherent signage systems, producing signposts and directional signs, selecting durable materials and finishes, and installing assets safely in a town-centre and surrounding-area setting. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate attention to long service life, minimal maintenance and value for money, alongside an understanding of accessibility and inclusive navigation. Experience of public realm, placemaking, heritage interpretation, town-centre regeneration or similar visitor and pedestrian wayfinding schemes would be directly relevant. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price, favouring bidders that can explain their design approach, materials, installation methodology and ability to deliver a high-quality, distinctive scheme for Witney.
