## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council procured legal advisory services for the management of its estate. The requirement covers property-related legal work and is classified as legal services. The work is delivered across the South East of England. The buying organisation is Oxfordshire County Council, based in Oxford. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity, and is relevant to law firms with a property and estates advisory practice supporting public-sector landholdings and estate management. The requirement is focused on legal advice connected with the council’s estate, rather than general legal services across all practice areas.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Responses were due by 1 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Browne Jacobson LLP on 5 May 2026 for £200,000, with a contract period from 5 May 2026 to 4 September 2028. The award is active. Oxfordshire County Council is the buyer and Browne Jacobson LLP is the selected supplier. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £200,000. Participation was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Oxfordshire County Council for specialist property-related legal advice supporting the management of a public estate. A credible future competitor would need an established property law practice, with solicitors able to advise on public-sector estate matters, transactions, land interests and the legal issues arising from managing council property. The successful supplier was a large law firm, indicating that the requirement can suit organisations with substantial legal capacity, depth of specialist staff and the resilience to support a multi-year council relationship. Familiarity with framework call-offs and public-sector procurement routes would also be important when pursuing comparable work for this buyer.
