## Summary

The Oxford City Council is currently conducting a tender for the project titled "Meanwhile Operator," aimed at utilising a capital grant of £1,692,488 to repurpose vacant spaces across Oxfordshire. The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 7 January 2021. The venture focuses on the industry category of renting or leasing services and involves delivery areas in the South East and South West regions of the United Kingdom. The contract period is set to commence on 29 January 2021 and will run until 31 January 2024, following an open procurement method.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialised in property management and leasing services, as well as those involved in temporary usage activities. Companies that could excel in this tender typically include real estate services firms, management service providers, and organisations with expertise in transforming vacant properties for innovative community uses. Engaging in this project could help such businesses expand their portfolio while contributing to the long-term sustainability of local spaces within Oxfordshire.

## Notice

1.1. Oxfordshire's four district councils, alongside Oxford City Council, has a PS1,692,488 capital grant, to invest to help fit out and convert vacant spaces to enable a range of outcomes. We are looking to procure a specialist 'meanwhile operator' to take forward a 'once in a generation' opportunity. This should, ultimately use the upfront injection of capital funds to help build the capacity, reach and sustainability of meanwhile and temporary use activity throughout Oxfordshire for years to come.
