UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Housing (Development) Limited appointed architectural and related services for Diamond Place, Oxford. The requirement covers designing a masterplan for approximately 90 homes on council-owned land, together with a community centre and a health centre. The work is therefore relevant to architectural practices with experience in residential-led masterplanning and the design of community and healthcare facilities. Delivery is in Oxford. The buyer is a public-sector housing and development company based at Oxford Town Hall. The appointed supplier, Clifton Emery Design Limited, is based in Exeter. The procurement was treated as a services requirement, covering one complete lot for the Diamond Place development.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Clifton Emery Design Limited. The award is active. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, starts on 20 July 2026 and runs to 1 April 2027, with a permitted extension period up to 20 July 2027. Its gross value is £48,480. The process used a below-threshold route, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The award covered one lot and architectural and related services. The recorded legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier but does not set out an award scoring basis or comparative bid results.

This procurement is useful market evidence for architectural practices targeting Oxford City Housing (Development) Limited, particularly those able to take a residential-led scheme from masterplanning through the design of supporting community infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to plan housing alongside a community centre and health centre, coordinate requirements on council-owned land, and manage the design of a mixed-use development at a scale of around 90 homes. Experience of working for public-sector or housing clients would strengthen that position, as would dependable project management across several building uses. The appointed supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist practice can compete for this type of requirement.
