Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured business and management consultancy services to review its enterprise resource planning (ERP) arrangements in support of local government reorganisation. The requirement covers an ERP review rather than the supply or implementation of a specific software product. The buying organisation is Oxfordshire County Council, based in Oxford. The work is associated with delivery in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. It is a single requirement covering the full review. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies that advise public bodies on ERP strategy, operating models, systems and organisational change, particularly where those areas are affected by local government restructuring. Suppliers focused solely on software licensing, routine IT support or general management consultancy without ERP and public-sector transformation capability are less closely aligned.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Civiteq Trading Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and awarded for the period from 8 July 2026 to 7 September 2026, with a maximum extension date of 7 October 2026 if there is delay. The contract value is £78,320 excluding VAT and £93,984 including VAT. The contract is active and renewal is allowed only in case of delay. Civiteq Trading Limited is the selected supplier. The published evaluation basis is the limited competition procedure; the record does not set out separate quality, price or weighting criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist ERP advice connected to local government reorganisation within Oxfordshire County Council’s operating environment. A credible competitor for similar work would need to assess ERP arrangements in the context of structural change, understand public-sector governance and service delivery, and turn findings into practical recommendations for a council. Experience in enterprise systems, business process review, data and organisational change would support delivery, alongside the ability to work with senior council stakeholders during a short, focused engagement. The award to an SME consultancy shows that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably specialised smaller provider, rather than only by a large systems integrator. Relevant public-sector case studies and clear consultancy methods would strengthen future credibility.
