The future shape of unitary local government in Oxfordshire will be decided by Government in the summer. Ahead of that decision, Oxford City Council is working collaboratively with neighbouring councils to compile data on all contracts and will collectively start to consider how these might be consolidated within the new unitary council(s) that will vest in April 2028. Oxford City Council at the point of publishing this Tender Notice can provide details of the current demand and scope of requirements to interested suppliers. It is however anticipated, that during the delivery of the contract, the LGR decision on future structure of local government in Oxfordshire will be made by Government, which will lead to the replacement of Oxford City Council and may impact the delivery and scope of this contract." }, "language": "en" }
