UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured asset management services, specifically commercial property management services. The work supports the council’s management of its property assets and is classified under CPV 70332200. The buying organisation is Oxfordshire County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Oxford. Delivery is in Oxfordshire. The requirement was structured as a single lot and covers services rather than goods or construction works. This opportunity is therefore relevant to firms providing commercial property management, asset management advice or related services for a public-sector property portfolio. It is less relevant to suppliers focused solely on construction, building materials, general facilities management or unrelated professional services. The selected supplier is an SME specialising in this type of advisory and management work.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to Sulgrave Advisors Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 22 May 2026 and runs from 22 May 2026 to 21 November 2027. Its value is £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement comprised one completed lot, covering the asset management services described above. The published outcome identifies Sulgrave Advisors Limited as the sole awarded supplier. This was not a competitive tender, so suppliers were not evaluated through an open bidding process for this contract. The procurement was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023.

This award provides a clear indication that Oxfordshire County Council purchases externally provided asset management and commercial property management support from specialist SMEs. A credible future competitor for this requirement would need practical experience managing or advising on commercial property assets, with the capacity to deliver an ongoing public-sector service rather than a one-off transaction. Relevant firms are likely to combine property management knowledge with asset-level analysis, portfolio oversight, sound record-keeping and the ability to work within a council’s governance and reporting arrangements. The awarded supplier’s SME status also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business, rather than only by a large national property or facilities management group. Suppliers should monitor this buyer’s property-services demand and build evidence of comparable council or commercial portfolio work.
