## Summary

Cherwell District Council commissioned a Heyford Transport Strategy. The requirement is a professional transport planning and consultancy service, classified under transport agency services, to support the council’s transport strategy work. It is a single-service requirement managed by the council as the buying organisation. The stated delivery country is the United Kingdom. The work is relevant to transport consultancies, transport planners and firms that provide strategic advice on transport networks, movement, access and related public-sector planning requirements. The procurement concerns services rather than construction, physical infrastructure or the supply of vehicles and equipment. A supplier would need to understand public-sector transport strategy requirements and provide consultancy outputs aligned with the council’s objectives for Heyford.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. SYSTRA was awarded the contract on 25 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2027. Its value is £47,973 excluding VAT and £59,966.25 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies SYSTRA as the selected supplier. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route, but the available record does not state the individual quality, technical or commercial criteria used to assess the competing proposals. This was a below-threshold procurement rather than an above-threshold procedure.

This award provides a clear signal that Cherwell District Council uses external specialist consultancy for transport strategy work associated with Heyford. Firms seeking comparable future work would need credible transport planning and transport strategy capability, with the ability to deliver a defined consultancy assignment as a single supplier. The selected provider, SYSTRA, is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can be competitive for this type of requirement. Relevant businesses should be comfortable working for a district council, responding to a limited-competition procurement route and presenting a focused proposal for transport agency services. Evidence of delivering clear strategic advice, managing the assignment within an agreed contract period and translating transport analysis into practical council-facing outputs would strengthen credibility when this requirement returns to market.
