Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for temporary staff has been completed by Oxford City Council, located at Oxford Town Hall in Oxford, United Kingdom. This is under the industry category of supply services of personnel, specifically temporary staff (CPV: 79620000). The procurement, initiated on 19 May 2025, is under a direct method without competition, due to being below the threshold. It was awarded to GRAHAM ROSE LIMITED, an SME based in Redhill, Surrey. The contracting process was finalised with a contract starting on 19 May 2025 and ending on 19 May 2026, with a potential extension of a further twelve months. The contract's total estimated value is £142,560 (gross), with £118,800 excluding VAT. The procurement's legal basis is the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents opportunities for companies specialising in personnel services, especially those that can swiftly fulfil staffing requirements. The decision to use a direct procurement method reflects the need for a responsive supplier who can meet specific demands without extensive procedural delays. Businesses with experience in providing skilled temporary staff, particularly for fire safety roles, would find a subsequent extension advantageous, ensuring continued partnership with Oxford City Council. SMEs, specifically those familiar with public sector contracts in the UK, would be well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities and potentially gain a foothold with sub-central government entities.
