## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned refurbishment works for Utility Blocks 1 and 2 at Sandford. The scope covers bathrooms, kitchens, heating, electrical re-wiring, redecorating and flooring, together with associated minor building works. The requirement is categorised as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100) and is being delivered in Oxfordshire, England. It is a practical building-services project rather than a design, consultancy or supply-only opportunity, requiring coordinated work across several building systems. The stated form of contract is JCT Minor Works 2024, indicating a conventional construction arrangement for a defined refurbishment package. Businesses whose core work combines general building refurbishment with plumbing, heating, electrical, decorating and flooring trades would be aligned with the requirement and the council’s type of premises-based works.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. Curtis Building Services Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 11 December 2025 and runs from 16 February 2026 to 17 April 2027. Its value is £282,112 excluding VAT, or £338,534.40 including VAT. The award is for works and relates to the refurbishment package described above. The contract is active, so this is an established procurement outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid. The limited-competition route shows that the council approached a restricted group of suppliers for this below-threshold requirement, rather than running an open tender.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to deliver coordinated refurbishment across bathrooms, kitchens, heating, electrical re-wiring, decoration and flooring, either with directly employed trades or dependable specialist subcontractors. Experience of managing varied building-services work in occupied or operational public-sector premises would be commercially relevant, alongside the ability to programme interdependent tasks, control quality and hand over completed areas safely. Familiarity with JCT Minor Works 2024 would help a supplier understand the contractual and administrative expectations. The award indicates demand for a substantial, multi-trade refurbishment package from Oxfordshire County Council, and shows that a larger building-services contractor was selected for this scale and combination of work.
