Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council has completed a public procurement process for the project titled "13 & 14 Middle Ground," focusing on refurbishment works under a JCT 2016 Minor Works Building Contract. The project involves the overhaul of blocks 13 and 14, including bathroom, kitchen, heating, rewiring, redecoration, and flooring updates. Located in Oxford, this project falls within the UKJ14 region and is classified under the refurbishment work industry category. The contract is active, signed on 3rd September 2025, and spans from the start date to 10th November 2026, with the potential for renewal up to the max extent date of 2nd September 2029. The procurement was directed through a below-threshold method without competition, marking the 'award' stage of the process, as confirmed by the award date on 2nd March 2026.

Opportunities for business growth are presented through this tender, particularly for SMEs specialising in construction and refurbishment works. Despite being awarded through a direct procurement method, similar opportunities often emerge for businesses focused on building services, as evidenced by the involvement of CURTIS BUILDING SERVICES LIMITED, a supplier operating within the region. Companies that can provide comprehensive building solutions, especially in refurbishment, are well-suited to engage with similar tenders in sub-central government projects. This contract exemplifies the demand for skilled refurbishment services and highlights the importance of maintaining high standards in public infrastructure development and maintenance.
