UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council procured temporary agency staffing to provide a planning locum. The requirement is a recruitment service: supplying temporary professional cover for planning work, rather than general staffing across a range of council functions. The council is the buyer, and the work is associated with Oxford, United Kingdom. The procurement was organised as one lot. The named requirement gives suppliers focused on recruiting and placing planning professionals a clear indication of the service sought and the public-sector buyer’s need for temporary planning capacity.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to G2V Recruitment Group Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also active. It was signed on 14 August 2026, with a contract period from 24 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. The contract value is £72,000 gross. The process was described as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The procurement was for one lot, which is complete. The published details do not state an award date or evaluation criteria, so no award basis can be reported.

This award shows Oxford City Council has bought temporary recruitment support specifically for a planning locum, making specialist planning recruitment and access to suitable candidates the relevant capabilities for a future comparable requirement. Suppliers would need to demonstrate they can source and place qualified planning professionals quickly enough to provide temporary cover, and manage the recruitment and placement process for a local authority. The contract was a focused, single-lot service rather than a broad staffing arrangement, and its scale indicates a defined short-term requirement. G2V Recruitment Group Limited was selected, providing a market example of the type of recruitment supplier that secured the work. The route was described as below threshold; suppliers familiar with local-authority procurement at this scale may find the buyer’s requirement relevant.
