Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council is buying UiPath software licences to continue its robotic process automation (RPA) estate and support further development work. The requirement combines licence provision with services for managing and developing software. The work is for the council’s ongoing automation environment, with delivery in Oxford. This is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described work packages, and the recorded scope centres on maintaining the council’s use of UiPath and enabling development within that estate. Suppliers working with RPA platforms, enterprise software licensing and associated implementation or development services will recognise the subject matter.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to UiPath UK Limited. The council signed the contract on 16 October 2026, the award date. The contract runs from 16 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a gross value of £61,200. The procurement was below threshold; the recorded method is described as below threshold, with no further method detail. There was one lot, covering the licence and related RPA estate development requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria or award basis are recorded, so the outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not explain how bids were assessed.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from Oxford City Council, this award shows demand for continued UiPath licensing alongside development support for an established robotic process automation estate. Credible competitors would need to supply or support UiPath licences and demonstrate practical capability in maintaining and extending RPA environments, rather than offering software licensing alone. The requirement is a focused, below-threshold services purchase delivered for the council in Oxford, so suppliers with a responsive local-government account service and capacity to support ongoing development are well placed to compete. The council selected a large software provider, indicating that a supplier needs to give confidence in licence continuity and sustained technical support for an existing platform.
