Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured minor refurbishment works under a JCT 2016 Minor Works contract for 15 Middle Ground. The scope covers new bathrooms and kitchens, heating installations, electrical wiring, redecoration, flooring and associated building works. This is a construction and property-refurbishment requirement rather than a supply-only contract. The work is for delivery in Oxfordshire, with the council acting as the buyer. The requirement would suit building contractors able to manage several domestic-style refurbishment trades within a coordinated works package, including plumbing, heating, electrical, decorating, flooring and general associated works. It is particularly relevant to firms working on council housing or other public-sector property-maintenance and improvement programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. Three suitable suppliers were invited to submit quotations, and bids were evaluated on price. Curtis Building Services Ltd was awarded the contract for the Middle Ground works. The recorded contract value is £106,549.52 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 10 December 2025 and is recorded as active. The procurement record describes the contract as below the applicable threshold but above the £25,000 notifiable value. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active, so the award outcome is the operative result.

This award shows that Oxfordshire County Council buys bundled minor refurbishment work covering multiple building services, rather than commissioning only one specialist trade. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate bathrooms, kitchens, heating, wiring, decoration and flooring, either with directly employed staff or reliable subcontractors, while controlling cost closely because price was the stated evaluation basis. The requirement is suitable for an SME-sized building business: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Contractors with experience of occupied or public-sector property refurbishment, effective site coordination, and the ability to deliver repeatable multi-trade works would be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable improvements. The JCT 2016 Minor Works form is also relevant contract experience.
