Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured specialist property advisory services to support the acquisition of property. The requirement covers advice on buying and selling real estate, rather than construction, property management or general consultancy. The work is categorised as a service and is to be delivered in the South East of England. The council is the buying organisation. The appointed supplier is Savills (UK) Ltd, a large property advisory business. This indicates a requirement for specialist real estate knowledge applied to acquisition activity on behalf of a public-sector landowner or buyer. Businesses whose core work is property acquisition advice, valuation-related support or real estate transaction consultancy may therefore find the requirement relevant, particularly where they operate across the South East.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 5 February 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Savills (UK) Ltd on 9 February 2026 for £285,000. The contract runs from 9 February 2026 to 8 February 2027. The tender had an estimated value of £285,000. The procurement was for services and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the council’s specialist property acquisition advice requirement in the South East. There was one recorded award and one supplier, so the stated value relates to that award rather than a combined total.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication that Oxfordshire County Council uses external specialist property advisers for acquisition work in the South East. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in buying and selling real estate and the ability to provide focused acquisition advice to a public-sector client. The appointed supplier’s classification as a large organisation, combined with the stated exclusion of SME and VCSE suitability, suggests that scale and established organisational capacity were relevant to the successful supplier profile. Businesses should therefore assess whether they can match that level of specialist property capability, resource and delivery capacity, and whether they can access the relevant framework route for comparable council requirements.
