Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council, through Oxford Direct Services (ODS) and Oxford Direct Services Trading Ltd (ODSTL), has concluded the procurement process for a Retrofit Service Framework. This award aims to provide a structured framework of suppliers to deliver a range of retrofit services within the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry category. The project is situated in Oxford, South East, United Kingdom, with a procurement process that commenced with an open procedure and is now at the award stage, effective from 1 March 2025 to 28 February 2029. The framework includes four specific lots—Retrofit Assessor, Coordinator, Designer, and Evaluator—with multiple suppliers selected for each lot and is designed for a four-year period with the possibility of a one-year extension.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in energy efficiency and retrofit services, providing avenues for long-term partnerships and extensive project work within Oxford and surrounding areas. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly well-suited to compete, given the framework's accessibility and structured lots. Companies specialising in architectural and engineering services, building services, and energy-related services can benefit from this procurement, as it encompasses varied expertise and enables businesses to grow through direct awards or mini-competitions issued by ODS or ODSTL for specific projects. The successful suppliers include Ambue Ltd, Currie & Brown UK Limited, E8 Portal Ltd - T/A E8 Property Services, Effective Energy Group LTD, Energy Specifics Ltd, InstaGroup Ltd, Keegans Ltd, Liberty Group Investments Ltd., Retrofit Energy Ltd, and Ridge and Partners.
