UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned building refurbishment works for utility blocks 7 and 8 at Middle Ground. The scope covers new bathrooms and kitchens, heating installation, rewiring, redecoration, new flooring and associated building works. This is a construction and refurbishment requirement, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom for the council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and covers coordinated building-services work rather than a standalone supply of materials or an isolated specialist service. Businesses suited to this type of requirement would typically provide end-to-end refurbishment capability across internal fit-out, electrical, heating and finishing trades.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. Curtis Building Services Ltd was selected for the single lot, with the contract signed on 15 July 2026. The contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 13 August 2027, with a maximum extent date of 15 August 2030 and renewal provisions under the JCT contract. Its value is £106,549.52 excluding VAT, or £127,859.42 including VAT. The contract includes 12 months for rectification before final payment, and commencement and completion dates can vary under the stated contract clause. The recorded award is active and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates demand for a medium-scale, multi-trade refurbishment programme from Oxfordshire County Council. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate bathroom and kitchen installation with heating, electrical rewiring, flooring, redecoration and associated building works, while managing the interfaces between trades and maintaining delivery through to rectification and final completion. Relevant experience in occupied or operational public-sector buildings, robust site management, quality control and the ability to provide appropriately qualified electrical and heating personnel would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier is recorded as a large business, indicating that the requirement can favour firms with sufficient workforce, supervision and financial capacity to manage several refurbishment disciplines under one construction contract.
