UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Direct Services Limited procured ecology consultancy services for environmental matters. The requirement covers professional advice on ecological and environmental issues, classified as environmental issues consultancy services (CPV 90713000). It is a services contract for work delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Oxford Direct Services Limited, a public authority organisation based in Oxford. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service areas, and the completed requirement relates to one lot. This is relevant to ecology consultancies and environmental advisers able to provide practical consultancy support to a public-sector services organisation, including firms that can operate across the UK and advise on ecological matters connected with the buyer’s activities.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Ecology Solutions Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026, with a contract period from 30 July 2026 to 30 December 2026. Oxford Direct Services Limited may extend it once for 12 months, with the maximum extent date being 29 December 2027. The contract’s gross value is £36,000. This was a below-threshold procurement using a procedure recorded as below threshold, with the detailed method described as unknown. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as a single completed lot. The award is active and the contract remains active, with the selected supplier being an SME.

This award demonstrates demand from Oxford Direct Services for specialist ecology and environmental consultancy delivered through a below-threshold route. Competitors seeking comparable work would need credible capability in environmental issues consultancy and the capacity to support a public-sector organisation across the United Kingdom. A suitable supplier would be able to provide clear, defensible ecological advice, understand how environmental considerations affect operational activities, and deliver professional consultancy within a relatively focused assignment. Ecology Solutions Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be met by a smaller specialist consultancy rather than only by a large multidisciplinary organisation. Firms building a credible position for similar work should be able to evidence relevant ecology expertise, dependable delivery and experience advising public-sector clients.
