Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Direct Services Limited procured environmental consultancy services from a consultant to deliver environmental services. The requirement is classified as environmental issues consultancy, covering work associated with environmental matters rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was organised by Oxford Direct Services Limited, a public authority-owned service organisation based in Oxford. It was structured as a single lot, covering the full environmental consultancy requirement. This is relevant to environmental consultancies able to advise a public-sector service organisation on environmental issues and deliver consultancy work across the UK. The buyer’s stated purpose is the delivery of environmental services by an appointed consultant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Oxford Direct Services Limited selected SLR Consulting Limited, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its gross value is £162,000. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a procedure recorded as below threshold with the specific method not stated. It was evaluated as a single completed lot. The award covers environmental issues consultancy services and relates to the full requirement. SLR Consulting Limited is the named supplier. The available outcome shows an active contract rather than a cancelled award or terminated contract.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for environmental consultancy from Oxford Direct Services Limited, with delivery entrusted to an established large consultancy. Competitors seeking to pursue a future requirement from this buyer would need credible expertise in environmental issues consultancy and the organisational capacity to deliver a public-sector environmental services assignment. The selected supplier profile indicates that the buyer values a provider able to operate at consultancy scale rather than an individual adviser working alone. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to present a capable environmental consultancy team, demonstrate delivery of comparable environmental services, and manage the requirements of a public authority client. The opportunity is most relevant to established environmental consultancies with sufficient resource to provide dependable advice and delivery across the United Kingdom.
