## Summary

Oxford City Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Provision of Reference Masterplan and Options Appraisal Oxford". The procurement focused on development consultancy services and was conducted under an open procedure. Covering the award stage, the contract involves preparing a strategic outline business case for a key gateway site, with a term from 13th November 2024 to 19th December 2025.
