Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council procured project management and quantity surveying services for the Sandy Lane project. The requirement covers managing and coordinating the design team, programme, meetings, reporting and decision-making. This is construction project management work, classified under CPV 71541000, with associated quantity surveying responsibilities. The buying organisation is Oxford City Council, based at Oxford Town Hall. Delivery is in Oxford, within the council’s area. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and concerns professional services rather than construction works or the supply of materials. It is therefore relevant to firms providing project management, quantity surveying and related client-side coordination for public-sector construction or development projects, particularly those able to manage design teams, programme controls, governance, reporting and project decisions on behalf of a local authority.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to TSA Riley Limited. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its gross value is £188,371.20. The opportunity was a below-threshold procurement using a method recorded as unknown, with one completed lot. The selected supplier is providing the services for that lot. The published outcome identifies an active award and an active contract, so the buyer’s procurement decision has been made and the work is under contract. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process that led to this award, but the available outcome does not set out separate scoring weightings or detailed award criteria. The contract period indicates a substantial, multi-year professional services engagement for the Sandy Lane project.

This award demonstrates Oxford City Council’s demand for external project management and quantity surveying support on a sizeable, multi-year construction-related project. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to coordinate multidisciplinary design teams, maintain programme control, organise and record meetings, produce clear reports, support structured decision-making and manage communication between the council and project participants. Quantity surveying capability is also central, including the commercial oversight expected alongside project management. Experience delivering client-side services for public authorities or comparable construction projects would help demonstrate that the supplier can work within formal governance, reporting and accountability arrangements. Firms combining project management and cost consultancy, or partnerships able to provide both disciplines, are particularly well placed to address this type of requirement when the council next needs similar support.
