The procurement adhered to the legal framework outlined by the UKPGA 2023/54. This procurement was conducted through a "limited" method with a "below threshold - limited competition" approach. The contracting process has reached the award stage as of 19th September 2025, with the contract starting from 1st October 2025 and concluding on 30th September 2028. The total contract value is £78,691 including VAT, with the service related to horticultural activities under the CPV code 77300000. The supplier awarded for this contract is Topiarus Horticulture Limited, based in Chipping Norton.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specializing in horticultural services. The limited competition nature of this tender underscores the potential for niche service providers to secure contracts with sub-central public authorities. Companies that are well-equipped with trained personnel and proficient in adhering to specific delivery and safety standards may find this contract advantageous. Additionally, with the service to be carried out in Oxford, businesses in close proximity may have logistical benefits and thus enhance their competitive edge in bidding for similar opportunities in the future.
