## Summary

Cherwell District Council commissioned environmental engineering consultancy services for the Heyford Planning Proposal. The work is classified as environmental engineering consultancy (CPV 71313000) and supports the council’s planning proposal for Heyford. The contract covers one lot, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The named buyer is Cherwell District Council, a district council based in Bodicote. The procurement is for consultancy services rather than physical works or goods, and the recorded requirement is tied specifically to the Heyford proposal.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Cherwell District Council used a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method is described as unknown. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 6 September to 20 December 2026. Its value is £67,644.50 excluding VAT, or £81,173.40 including VAT. Ove Arup & Partners Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active, although no award date or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process data. The requirement was handled as one lot, with no lot-specific division or award breakdown to report.

For environmental engineering consultancies, this contract demonstrates Cherwell District Council’s demand for specialist consultancy support linked to planning proposals at Heyford. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show relevant environmental engineering consultancy capability and experience supporting planning work, with the capacity to deliver a focused assignment for a district council. The selected supplier, Ove Arup & Partners Limited, is a large consultancy, indicating that an established multidisciplinary firm was chosen; the contract data does not identify particular accreditations, technical specialisms or staffing qualifications as selection requirements. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to evidence relevant project experience and the ability to provide consultancy services aligned with the proposal, rather than assuming that unrelated environmental services alone would be suitable.
