## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned professional engineering and planning services for the A4095 North West Bicester Strategic Link Road in Oxfordshire. The scope covers preliminary design of the strategic link road, preparation and submission of a planning application, and detailed design of the section east of the new junction with Bucknall Road. It also includes a feasibility study for restricting vehicle movements on Howes Lane east of Shakespeare Drive. This is a transport infrastructure design and feasibility requirement, combining civil engineering, development planning and transport assessment services. The work is associated with feasibility studies, advisory services and analysis, including CPV 71241000 and CPV 79314000. The council is both the buyer and the organisation responsible for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. One supplier and one lot were involved: Perfect Circle JV Ltd was awarded the contract, with the award active. The award date is not separately recorded, while the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 29 February 2028. Its value is £1,184,030.87 excluding VAT and £1,480,038.59 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award route rather than an open tender, so the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not set out a competitive scoring exercise or detailed award criteria.

This procurement indicates substantial demand from Oxfordshire County Council for integrated transport infrastructure consultancy around North West Bicester. A credible future supplier would need to combine strategic road and civil engineering design with planning-application preparation, detailed design around a new junction, transport feasibility work and assessment of modal restrictions. Experience of taking preliminary designs through planning processes would be relevant, alongside the ability to coordinate technical outputs across highway, junction, traffic-management and development-planning disciplines. The requirement also favours organisations able to manage a multi-stage commission from feasibility and preliminary design through to detailed design, and to work effectively with a local authority on a major growth-area road scheme. The appointed supplier was an SME joint venture, showing that this scale and blend of capability can be delivered by a specialist partnership.
