Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Queensway Primary School Drainage Works" was conducted by Oxfordshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom. This project involved maintenance and repair works for the drainage system at Queensway Primary School, located in the UKJ14 region of Oxfordshire. The procurement, classified under the industry category of 'works', followed a limited method due to the below-threshold nature of the contract, and was completed at the award stage with a total gross contract value of £77,966.40. The contract was signed on 25th July 2025 and stipulated a work period from 4th August 2025 to 1st September 2025, with provisions for renewal as per standard JCT clauses.

The tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in drainage and repair works. Although the competition was limited in this instance, companies similar to R Smith & Sons Limited, the supplier awarded the contract, would be well-suited to participate in similar future opportunities. Such projects provide a platform for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to enhance their portfolio and credibility within public sector works, potentially leading to further opportunities as trusted and experienced contractors in this niche industry sector. The contract's renewal clause also hints at potential long-term engagement, enabling businesses to establish ongoing relationships with public authorities like Oxfordshire County Council.
