Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured building works for a partial electrical rewire at John Watson School. The requirement covers electrical wiring work within the school estate, under a JCT 2024 Minor Works Contract. The buying organisation is Oxfordshire County Council, based in Oxford, and the work is at John Watson School in Abingdon. This is a specialist construction and electrical-services requirement rather than a supply-only contract. Businesses relevant to this type of work include electrical contractors and building-services firms able to undertake rewiring in an occupied or operational education setting, coordinate site activities and deliver compliant installation works as part of a minor works contract.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Partial Rewire at John Watson School, the supplier named in the contracting record. The award is active and the contract was signed on 10 March 2026. The contract runs from 10 March 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value is £61,272.49 excluding VAT and £73,526.99 including VAT. The main procurement category is works, specifically electrical wiring. The process used the JCT 2024 MW Contract for the partial rewire. The contract is below the applicable threshold and the tender status is complete.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement provides a clear indication of Oxfordshire County Council’s demand for targeted electrical works in schools. A credible competitor would need proven electrical installation and rewiring capability, the workforce and supervision to deliver a defined building project, and the capacity to manage work in an education environment. Experience working under a JCT 2024 Minor Works Contract would be directly relevant, as would the ability to plan, coordinate and complete safety-critical electrical activities to the required standard. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the council’s benchmark included a contractor able to resource and control a substantial specialist works package.
