Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Oxford City Council, a sub-central government public authority, focuses on recruitment services within the industry sector. Specifically, it is for the hiring of a temporary Project Officer, under the title "Temporary agency worker". Situated in Oxford, UKJ14, this tender has reached the completion stage as of 30th October 2025, with the contract being actively awarded earlier on 27th October 2025. The procurement was handled via a "Below threshold - unknown" method, indicating a less formal tendering process, which resulted in awarding to Graham Rose Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Redhill, UKJ26.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, especially those experienced in providing temporary staffing solutions. It sets the stage for further engagements with local government bodies and facilitates the building of a portfolio within public sector supply chains. SMEs like Graham Rose Ltd can leverage this success for expansion, using their existing capabilities to meet similar demands. The focus on agency workers hints at potential repeated procurement needs, making this an attractive avenue for companies ready to support public sector recruitment efficiently and comply with legal frameworks.
