Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Great Mead Children's Home Works" has been contracted to E.W.Beard Ltd by Oxfordshire County Council. This project involves the adaptation and refurbishment of Great Mead House into a children's home, classified under the industry category "Children's home construction work". Located within England, United Kingdom, the tender under the direct award procurement method was completed using the Pagabo National Framework for Medium Works 2023, Lot 2, covering Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire. The tender process concluded on 1st June 2024 with a contract period starting on 10th June 2025 and ending on 24th October 2025. The total contract value is £1,084,283.15.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for established construction companies looking to contribute to specialised social infrastructure projects, particularly those with experience in adapting existing structures for new purposes. Large-scale firms like E.W.Beard Ltd, which was awarded the contract, are ideal candidates given the project's scope and the required expertise in delivering children's home facilities. Although the contract is not directly designed to support SMEs or VCSEs, such firms can still seek partnership opportunities or sub-contracts within the development framework to build capacity or gain expertise in similar future projects. E.W.Beard Ltd's involvement indicates the potential for ancillary business opportunities, especially for firms capable of supplying specialised services or materials required in the refurbishment process.
