Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council, operating as the buying organisation under the classification of a public authority - sub-central government, has completed a procurement process for the role of a Locum Property Lawyer. This tender was part of a service category, specifically recruitment services, and was executed using the "Below threshold - unknown" procurement method. The primary location for the delivery of these services is in the UKJ14 region, United Kingdom. The award was made on 22nd September 2025, and the contract with the supplier, Vivid Resourcing from London, began on the same date and is scheduled to end on 31st March 2026. The total gross contract value amounts to £73,732, with a net value of £61,442.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those offering locum capabilities. It is particularly advantageous for large-scale suppliers like Vivid Resourcing, who can provide specialised recruitment services. Businesses with expertise in legal recruitment and the capacity to service public sector clients would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. The procurement process highlights the demand for specialised legal professionals within public sectors, offering ample scope for businesses to expand their service offerings in this niche.
