UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Oxfordshire District Council commissioned cost management and employer’s agent services for its project at 116–120 Broadway, Didcot. The work supports completion of an ongoing construction project, covering RIBA stages 5, 6 and 7. It falls within construction project management services and is delivered in Didcot, Oxfordshire. The requirement is focused on managing costs and acting as the employer’s agent through the later stages of this specific project, rather than appointing a contractor to deliver construction works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to GLEEDS LLP. South Oxfordshire District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The procurement was divided into one lot. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £49,115 excluding VAT (£58,938 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not state evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so no competitive scoring basis is reported for this award.

For suppliers considering similar future work for South Oxfordshire District Council, this award shows demand for cost management and employer’s agent support on an ongoing construction project, specifically through RIBA stages 5–7. A credible provider would need to understand construction cost control and the employer’s agent role, and be able to support a project through its later stages towards completion. Experience working within the RIBA project framework and coordinating the commercial and delivery requirements of an active construction project would be relevant. The council used a direct award without competition for this appointment, rather than a competed procedure; the award therefore provides evidence of the type of specialist service it has commissioned, but does not establish a published competitive evaluation model.
