UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Oxford City Council has commenced the planning stage for a significant public procurement project titled "Elsfield Hall" in the UKJ14 region, Oxford, United Kingdom. The project involves the construction of over 40 flats and houses, classified under the construction industry category. The process, initiated as a tender, is currently at the planning stage, with detailed announcements published on 22nd May 2026. The construction is scheduled to begin on 1st April 2027 and finish by 30th April 2030. Interested parties should note the upcoming procurement notice deadline set for 31st December 2026.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering construction works valued at £9.6 million gross (£8.0 million net). Firms specializing in construction work adhering to the CPV code 45000000 are particularly well-suited to compete. The contract will support business development through long-term engagement, providing a stable commercial footing for the duration of the three-year project timeline. Given Oxford City Council's role as a sub-central government authority, businesses will benefit from engaging with a reliable public sector partner.
