UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council procured agency recruitment for a project manager or lead business analyst to support delivery of a new Housing Needs system. The work is a specialist recruitment service: supplying a suitably experienced professional to help lead the project and provide business analysis. The requirement is connected to the council’s housing needs services, with delivery in Oxford. The procurement was structured as a single lot, covering the recruitment requirement as one package. The description frames the assignment around implementing the new system, rather than supplying software or delivering general-purpose recruitment services. Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Oxford City Council awarded the single-lot contract to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited; it was signed on 1 October 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 6 April 2027, with a maximum extent to 6 October 2027 and the possibility of month-to-month extensions if the project needs more time. Its gross value is £59,202. The stated procurement route was below-threshold, with the method recorded as unknown. The requirement was described as agency recruitment for a project manager/lead business analyst, and the recorded category was recruitment services. No award evaluation criteria are included in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Oxford City Council for agency-sourced project management and lead business analysis capacity to support implementation of a Housing Needs system. Suppliers competing for similar work should be able to recruit and present experienced professionals who can combine project leadership with business analysis, and who can work on a defined public-sector systems delivery assignment. The role is tied to the housing needs domain, so familiarity with the operational context and the ability to work effectively with council teams would strengthen a supplier’s proposition, although specific qualifications or accreditations are not stated. The single-lot arrangement indicates the requirement was bought as one recruitment package rather than split into separate specialist lots. The selected supplier was a large recruitment business, indicating the buyer engaged an established agency provider.
