## Summary

The procurement process overseen by Oxfordshire County Council, identified as a sub-central government public authority, centres on providing LGR Pre-Transition Support to ensure the council's operational capabilities for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). According to the documents updated on 20th March 2026, the procurement stage has reached the award phase, with contracts titled "LGR Pre-Transition Support" actively in place from 24th March 2026 to 31st August 2026. This £558,741.60 project, located in Oxford, involves direct award procurement methodology due to services of a similar nature previously engaged through a competitive process. Notably, REED SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LTD, a large-scale provider headquartered in London, is contracted as the supplier for project management consultancy services.

This procurement initiative presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in project management consultancy services, particularly those experienced in supporting public sector transitions and reorganisations. Companies possessing a strong track record in public sector and large-scale consultancy assignments are well-suited to compete in such tenders, as the direct award method suggests a preference for continuity and alignment with previous engagements. Participating in projects like these can bolster a company's credibility and expand its client base within public sector projects, fostering potential for future extensions or related mandates.

## Notice

This is a 6 month piece of work to ensure arrangements are in place to enable OCC to deliver LGR.
