UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council hired rooms at The King’s Centre in Oxford for hearings on its LP2045 planning examination with the Planning Inspectorate. The requirement was for venue space to host the examination hearings, rather than a wider planning or facilities-management programme. The service falls within facilities management services. The named venue and delivery location are in Oxford. This gives local meeting and event venues a clear indication of the type of requirement: providing suitable rooms for formal public-sector examination hearings. The process covered one lot and the venue hire was supplied by The King’s Centre Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was handled as a below-threshold procurement, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 January 2027. Its gross value is £38,994.24. The King’s Centre Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The requirement was for rooms for LP2045 examination hearings with the Planning Inspectorate, with hearings described as taking place in October to December 2025. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Oxford City Council for venue hire to support formal planning examination hearings in Oxford. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide suitable rooms in Oxford and be able to accommodate hearings involving the Planning Inspectorate. The selected supplier is a large local venue operator, indicating that established facilities and the capacity to host a multi-date hearing programme are relevant strengths. Venues able to support formal proceedings and provide dependable room hire are best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to the market.
