Summary of the contracting process

Vale of White Horse District Council procured construction management services from an experienced Project Manager acting as Employers Agent. The role covers management of the Gym Extension and Wet Side Changing Facilities Projects at Wantage Leisure Centre, Portway, Wantage. The requirement is focused on project management and employer’s agent services for leisure-centre improvement works, rather than the construction works themselves. The contracting authority is Vale of White Horse District Council, based in Abingdon. The delivery location is Wantage in Oxfordshire. This is a public-sector services opportunity for firms able to manage building-project delivery, coordinate the relevant parties and represent the employer’s interests throughout the leisure-centre development.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to KJP UK LTD T/A One Consulting Group. It used a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. There was one lot, evaluated on quality weighted at 40% and price at 60%; the lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The original estimated value was £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and has a value of £37,683 excluding VAT (£45,219.60 including VAT). Its contract period runs from 3 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 April 2026 at 5pm.

This award indicates demand from Vale of White Horse District Council for specialist project management and Employers Agent support on leisure-centre refurbishment and extension projects. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable experience managing construction projects, coordinating gym-extension and wet-side changing-facility works, and acting for a public-sector employer. Strong performance would depend on controlling delivery, communicating with contractors and stakeholders, managing risks and protecting the employer’s requirements through to completion. The evaluation approach shows that both service quality and competitive pricing matter, with quality carrying substantial weight. The completed lot was considered suitable for SMEs, so an appropriately experienced smaller consultancy could be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
