UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Direct Services Limited commissioned a pay and reward benchmarking exercise. The work is a business and management consultancy service: the appointed consultant is to benchmark pay and reward. The procurement has one lot, and the recorded delivery country is the United Kingdom. The description does not set out further detail on the roles, workforce groups or methods covered by the exercise.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Korn Ferry UK. It was run as a below-threshold procurement; the recorded procurement method is otherwise unknown. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2027. Its gross value is £78,000. The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement was divided into one lot. No award criteria or evaluation basis is stated in the available process details.

For a future requirement from Oxford Direct Services, a credible competitor would need to show that it can deliver pay and reward benchmarking as a business consultancy service. Korn Ferry UK was selected for this exercise, indicating that the buyer engaged a specialist consultancy for this work. Suppliers with relevant experience in comparing pay and reward arrangements would be well placed to demonstrate fit, alongside the capacity to complete an organisation-wide benchmarking exercise. The recorded scope is brief, so the clearest evidence of relevance is capability in pay and reward benchmarking rather than broader management consulting alone.
