UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council has completed a public procurement process for the role titled "QL, Versaa, & DRS Programme Manager", categorised under "services" in the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. The contract was awarded to LA FOSSE ASSOCIATES LIMITED, a large-scale supplier based in London, United Kingdom. This procurement utilised a direct method, designated as below threshold without competition, indicating a streamlined approach due to its value and urgency. The contract began on 24th March 2025 and is set to conclude by 24th March 2026, with a total gross value of £171,600 GBP. The procurement location is focused within the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the Oxford region, UKJ14.

This tender, having been awarded through a direct procurement method, presents limited opportunities for other businesses in this instance, yet indicates Oxford City Council's commitment to efficiently managing critical programmes requiring specialised staffing. Companies in the consultancy or staffing sectors, particularly those specialising in programme management, should monitor similar future opportunities which might not always follow a direct award process, thus being open for competitive bidding. Engagements like these reflect ongoing public sector needs for expert personnel management, encouraging businesses with relevant expertise to establish or reinforce their foothold in the public sector landscape.
