UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Direct Services Limited is seeking suppliers for a framework covering the supply and installation of flooring covers. The work includes flooring and floor-covering installation, with work packages managed individually. The buyer is Oxford Direct Services, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a works opportunity for businesses able to supply suitable flooring products and carry out installation. The framework is intended to support ODS’s flooring requirements through individual work packages rather than one single defined installation project.

The buyer invited quotations through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. This is a single-lot framework with a maximum of three suppliers; individual work packages may be awarded directly or through mini-competitions. Enquiries were due by 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC and tenders by 9 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The initial contract period is 7 December 2026 to 6 December 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, up to 6 December 2030. The stated gross framework value is £1.2 million. Evaluation covers technical and professional ability, expertise and knowledge, professional affiliation and accreditation, delivery management and safety, social value, environmental considerations and price; the detailed weightings are in the RFQ documents.

The framework is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the buyer intends to appoint up to three suppliers. It may suit flooring contractors that can combine product supply with installation and deliver separate work packages. Bidders will need to demonstrate relevant technical and professional ability, expertise and knowledge, as well as any applicable professional affiliations and accreditations. Strong delivery management and safety arrangements will matter, alongside the ability to address social value and environmental considerations. Price is also part of the assessment. The framework's call-off arrangements mean suppliers should be prepared to respond to individual packages, including mini-competitions where used. The procurement therefore favours suppliers with the capability and organisation to manage repeat flooring supply and installation work.
