## Summary

Oxford Direct Services Limited procured health and safety consultancy services under the requirement titled Health, Safety, Environmental and Waste Support. The work is a professional advisory service supporting health and safety matters for the buyer’s operations. The procurement covers one lot and the stated service classification is health and safety consultancy services (CPV 71317210). Delivery is across the United Kingdom. Oxford Direct Services Limited is a public authority organisation based at Cowley Marsh Depot in Oxford and is the organisation buying the service. The selected supplier is an SME consultancy, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist health and safety advisory business rather than a supplier of physical goods or construction works. The scope described in the procurement is specifically consultancy, so relevant firms should focus on advisory, compliance and professional support capabilities in occupational health and safety.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to EKS Associates Limited. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and has an awarded gross value of £73,000. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2028, with a maximum extension date of 31 March 2029. The buyer awarded one completed lot, and the award remains active. The procedure was below threshold, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The award relates to health and safety consultancy services and the contract includes an option to extend: the initial term is one year, with the option to extend by 15 months. The tender’s status is complete, and the selected supplier is EKS Associates Limited of Wellingborough. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This award provides a clear reference point for consultancies seeking future health and safety work with Oxford Direct Services Limited. A credible competitor would need to deliver specialist health and safety consultancy across the buyer’s United Kingdom operations and demonstrate that it can support the organisation through a structured professional advisory service. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that the requirement is accessible to a focused specialist business, rather than necessarily requiring the resources of a large national contractor. Firms should be able to evidence relevant consultancy experience, competent personnel and reliable capacity to provide ongoing advice throughout a substantial service period. The procurement title also identifies environmental and waste support as part of the wider requirement, so businesses with demonstrable capability spanning health, safety, environmental and waste advisory work may be well placed when this buyer’s needs are reviewed again.
