## Summary

The Oxford City Council has recently completed an unsuccessful award process for the "Selective Licensing Property Inspections" tender, which aimed to deliver building inspection services under the council's Selective Licensing scheme. The tender, classified under the services category, focused on private rented homes in Oxford. Despite the cancellation of the lot for property inspections, the Council received almost 10,000 applications for selective licences, setting out to inspect 60% of licensed properties to improve living conditions and identify compliance issues.

This active tender for the "Selective Licensing Property Inspections" contract by the Oxford City Council presents an opportunity for business growth in building-inspection services. With a contract value of £340,000, the tender seeks to improve the condition of private rented homes in Oxford by identifying hazards and ensuring compliance with regulations. Businesses in the building-inspection industry, particularly those specialised in property assessments and risk categorisation, are well-suited to compete for this open procedure procurement. The tender deadline for submissions is 29th September 2023, providing a clear timeline for interested businesses to prepare and submit their proposals.

## Notice

* The purpose is to deliver inspections required under the Council's Selective Licensing scheme to identify if there are any category one or higher level category two (Band D or E) hazards under the HHSRS system. Where these hazards are identified to request remedial works through agreed approach. This will improve the condition of private rented homes as per the objective of the Selective Licensing scheme. * Almost 10,000 applications for selective licences have been received. All applications are risk rated for inspection. We aim to inspect 60% of licensed properties. * The inspections in this contract will be for lower risk rated properties to allow the council to concentrate on higher risk properties and enforcement on non-compliance. We estimate 4,000 properties will fall into the low risk category.* The inspections are of private rented homes within the city of Oxford.
