UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council procured principal designer services for the replacement of fire doors at Hawksmoor Road in Oxford. The requirement covers construction project management services associated with the fire door replacement programme, with the appointed designer supporting the project’s design and delivery arrangements. The work is a professional services opportunity rather than the supply or installation of fire doors themselves. It is relevant to architectural practices, principal designers and construction project management consultancies with experience of coordinating fire safety-related building works. The buyer is Oxford City Council, a local public authority, and delivery is centred on Hawksmoor Road, Oxford. The procurement was structured as a single requirement covering the complete service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Oxford City Council used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 2 August 2026 to 25 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £43,658.40 gross, excluding the relevant threshold. Jessop and Cook Architects Ltd was appointed as the supplier for the fire door replacement principal designer services. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement and was arranged as one lot. The published outcome identifies construction project management services as the applicable activity classification.

This procurement demonstrates Oxford City Council’s demand for specialist design leadership and project management on fire door replacement works. A credible future competitor would need to provide principal designer capability and understand how to coordinate design, construction activity and fire safety requirements in an occupied or operational building environment. Architectural practices and construction project management consultancies are the most closely aligned supplier types. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of professional services work can be delivered by a smaller specialist practice rather than only by a large multidisciplinary contractor. Relevant firms should be able to show clear responsibility for managing the design and delivery interface on fire door replacement programmes for this council.
