Summary of the contracting process

West Oxfordshire District Council commissioned internal refurbishment works at a council-owned residential property at 45 Common Road, Witney, OX29 6RE. The property contains four flats, each requiring different works. The procurement covers building refurbishment rather than goods or professional services, with the work focused on improving or renewing the interiors of the residential dwellings. The council sought quotations from suitably qualified local contractors to deliver the programme. The buying organisation is West Oxfordshire District Council, and the delivery site is the council property in Witney. The requirement is categorised as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100) and was treated as a below-threshold works procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold quotation process. Oxford Direct Services Trading Limited was selected on 17 August 2026 for the single requirement. The awarded value is £32,296 excluding VAT, or £38,755.20 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 16 October 2026, with signature scheduled for 11 September 2026. The work was evaluated through the council’s request for quotations to suitably qualified local contractors. The award is active, and the successful supplier is Oxford Direct Services Trading Limited. This was a single-lot procurement covering the refurbishment works at the Witney residential property.

This award identifies a defined local-market opportunity for contractors able to carry out internal refurbishment across a small residential property containing four flats, with different work requirements in each dwelling. A credible competitor for comparable council work would need relevant refurbishment capability, the qualifications expected for building works, and the capacity to coordinate varied tasks across multiple occupied or residential units at one site. Local presence is commercially relevant because the council sought suitably qualified local contractors. Oxford Direct Services Trading Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement is within the operational scale of a smaller established contractor rather than only a major construction business. Experience delivering council-owned residential refurbishment would strengthen a future response.
