Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured a joint intranet service to support Local Government Reorganisation. The requirement is for an internet and intranet software package and associated services, intended to provide a shared internal platform for the reorganisation programme. The work is delivered in the South East of England. The council is the buyer, and the procurement is categorised as services. This is a council-wide or partnership-style digital workplace requirement rather than a standalone website, public-facing communications platform or general IT hardware supply. It would be relevant to businesses that provide intranet software and implementation services, particularly those able to support a shared platform used during organisational change involving local government bodies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026 at 5pm. Oxfordshire County Council awarded the contract to Oak Engage Limited on 28 August 2026. The awarded value is £90,000 GBP. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2028. The tender’s stated value was also £90,000 GBP. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. There was one award and one named supplier. The published process records an active award and a complete tender status.

This award is useful market evidence for intranet software providers and digital workplace specialists targeting local government. It shows demand for a shared intranet specifically supporting Local Government Reorganisation, rather than a routine internal communications refresh. A credible future competitor would need to provide and support an intranet platform that can serve a joint public-sector environment, bring information and users together, and remain usable through organisational change. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those with a configurable intranet product, implementation capability and the capacity to support a council-led transformation programme. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, and the route to market was a framework call-off, so framework access and experience with public-sector procurement would be commercially relevant.
