## Summary

The procurement process for "Creative Design Agency Services" is being conducted by Oxford City Housing Ltd (OCHL), under the umbrella of the Oxford City Council, to support its 'New Homes' development programme. The total contract value is £400,000 and is classified under business services related to law, marketing, consulting, and security. This tender, which is at the award stage, was published on 17th March 2021, with a tender period that concluded on 23rd April 2021. The contract will commence on 14th June 2021 and run until 13th June 2025, primarily within the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Oxford.

This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in creative design and branding.

## Notice

Oxford City Housing Ltd (OCHL) is undertaking this procurement process to secure a provider of Creative Design Services for its 'New Homes' development and sales programme. OCHL was created in 2016 and enables Oxford City Council (OCC, the Council) to directly deliver social rented housing alongside the provision of shared ownership and private homes, the receipt from which will cross subsidise to provide social rented homes. OCHL has therefore launched the Council into the shared ownership and private sales new homes market in Oxford City. The agency we engage will be charged with the creation and implementation of a new brand (or brands) identity for the OCHL and OCC sales and marketing arm. This will enable us to successfully engage with prospective buyers and confidently position ourselves within an existing competitive arena of private house builders.
