UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured refurbishment works for utility blocks 3 and 4 at Middle Ground in Wheatley. The scope covered new bathrooms and kitchens, heating installation, electrical rewiring, redecoration, new flooring and associated building works. This is a construction and refurbishment requirement, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work. The council is the public sector buyer and the requirement was organised as a single lot. The works were intended to improve and renew the utility blocks rather than provide a standalone supply of goods or a professional advisory service. Businesses specialising in public-sector building refurbishment, property maintenance, or coordinated multi-trade works would be relevant to this requirement, particularly those able to deliver several elements of internal refurbishment as one package.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CURTIS BUILDING SERVICES LIMITED. It used a below-threshold limited competition rather than an open procedure. The contract was signed on 29 May 2026 and runs from 4 June 2026 to 24 June 2026, with a maximum possible extension date of 3 June 2030. Its value is £106,549.52 excluding VAT, or £127,859.42 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract may be extended beyond its initial term by mutual agreement, subject to the extension-of-time clause. Evaluation resulted in one supplier being selected for the single refurbishment lot. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Oxfordshire County Council for compact, multi-trade refurbishment projects in its property estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to coordinate bathroom and kitchen installation, heating, electrical rewiring, flooring, decoration and associated building works, either through its own workforce or through properly managed specialist trades. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller building contractor can satisfy this kind of council requirement through a limited competition route. Relevant businesses would therefore include building refurbishment contractors and property maintenance firms with practical delivery capability across several internal-work packages, reliable project management, and experience completing works in occupied or operational public-sector buildings where coordination and a short delivery window matter.
