## Summary

Oxford Direct Services Limited procured architectural development services from Weedon Architects Limited. The requirement covers architectural and related professional services, classified under CPV 71200000, for delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public authority based at Cowley Marsh Depot in Oxford. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction works, with the stated purpose of providing architectural development support. The awarded requirement was organised as a single lot. It may therefore be relevant to architectural practices and multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies that provide development-stage design and related advisory work for public-sector clients. The selected supplier is based in Birmingham and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold procedure whose specific method is recorded as unknown. It used one lot. Weedon Architects Limited was awarded the contract, which is active and was signed on 26 June 2026. The contract runs from 26 June 2026 to 25 June 2027. Its gross value is £123,600. The award covers the architectural and related services in the single lot. The published data identifies the buyer as Oxford Direct Services Limited and the winning supplier as Weedon Architects Limited. No separate award decision date or detailed scoring breakdown is provided, so the available outcome is the supplier, contract value, status and contract period.

This procurement is evidence that Oxford Direct Services Limited buys architectural development support through a below-threshold, single-lot route rather than a large multi-lot competition. A credible future competitor would need to offer architectural and related services suitable for public-sector development work, understand how to deliver for a public authority, and be able to take responsibility for a complete requirement presented as one contract. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller architectural practice rather than only by a major national consultancy. Firms considering similar work should assess their experience of architectural development services, their ability to manage a whole-lot commission, and their readiness to compete for comparable public-sector requirements.
