Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council procured an agency recruitment service to supply an Asset Data Building Surveyor for its GFP post. The requirement is for recruitment and placement of a building surveyor with asset-data expertise, rather than for building works or a general surveying service. The work is associated with Oxford City Council in Oxford. The contract is classified as a service, with recruitment services identified as the relevant category. This is a specialist staffing requirement for a council role focused on building asset data.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to GRAHAM ROSE LIMITED, a recruitment supplier based in Redhill. Oxford City Council used a below-threshold procedure; the detailed procurement method is recorded as unknown. There was one lot. The award is active and the contract is active, signed on 4 October 2026. Its period runs from 4 October 2026 to 7 April 2028. The contract value is £216,000 including tax. The published information identifies the service and winning supplier but does not set out an evaluation basis or eligibility requirements.

For recruitment businesses, this award shows Oxford City Council’s demand for agency support in filling a specialist building-surveyor post centred on asset data. A credible competitor would need to source and place building surveyors with relevant asset-data capability, and demonstrate that it can meet a council’s staffing requirement through an agency recruitment service. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement was fulfilled by a smaller business. The contract was handled below the formal threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through the council’s applicable below-threshold route. The requirement is specific to recruiting an Asset Data Building Surveyor; general recruitment experience alone may not establish a fit without access to candidates with the relevant surveying and asset-data expertise.
