Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Direct Services Limited procured a framework for gas repairs, maintenance and installation, covering commercial and domestic gas work. The requirement is classified as gas-fitting installation works (CPV 45333000). Work is to be delivered in the Oxfordshire area of England. The framework is intended for the buyer’s gas-related repair, maintenance and installation requirements, with suppliers providing the practical installation and associated servicing capability needed for both commercial and domestic settings. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and managed by Oxford Direct Services Limited, a public authority company based in Oxford. Two suppliers were selected for the framework: North Oxfordshire Plumbing & Heating, based in Banbury, and AD Services Group Ltd, based in London. Both are recorded as small or medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It established a closed framework, with call-offs made either by direct award or by reopening competition through a mini-competition. Two active awards were made, both associated with the gas-fitting requirement: North Oxfordshire Plumbing & Heating received an award valued at £126,000 gross, and AD Services Group Ltd received an award valued at £552,270 gross. Both contracts were signed on 10 August 2026 and run from 10 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with an option to extend to a maximum end date of 31 July 2030. The initial term is two years, with a possible further two-year extension. The published data identifies the procurement as works and records the framework as using direct award and mini-competition routes.

This award demonstrates established demand from Oxford Direct Services for specialist gas-fitting works delivered through a structured framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need practical capability in gas repairs, maintenance and installation across both commercial and domestic environments, together with the operational capacity to respond to work allocated through direct call-offs or mini-competitions. The appointed businesses are both SMEs, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by smaller specialist contractors rather than only by national facilities-management firms. A credible competitor would also need to understand framework-based contracting, maintain sufficient workforce and service capacity for Oxfordshire delivery, and present a clear route for handling varied repair, maintenance and installation instructions under either allocation method.
