Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership Limited commissioned consultancy services to review the delivery of its Business and Intellectual Property Centre and Enterprise Oxfordshire Business Support services. The work concerns business support delivery and its review, rather than the provision of general business support to end users. It is classified as business services covering consulting and related professional services. Delivery is in Oxfordshire, within the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single lot and the requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based at County Hall in Oxford.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. Europe Project Management Limited was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The contract value is £26,450 excluding VAT and £31,740 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 October 2026, with a possible extension to 31 December 2026 if Enterprise Oxfordshire requests additional time. The award record gives the same values and provides an earlier service period of 3 August to 12 October 2026, also with a possible extension to 31 December 2026. This was a single-lot services contract.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of the buyer’s demand for independent consultancy to examine how business support services are delivered. Relevant competitors would be business consultancy providers with the ability to review the operation and delivery of business and intellectual property support provision, assess the service as a defined assignment and produce findings for a public-sector enterprise partnership. The opportunity was suitable for an SME, and the selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of review can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy rather than only by a large professional-services firm. Firms with directly relevant business-support review experience would be best placed when a similar requirement returns.
