## Summary

Oxford City Housing (Development) Limited commissioned planning consultancy for the Diamond Place car park site in Summertown, Oxford. The work supports the development of new homes, a health centre and a community centre, with advice extending through preparation of a planning submission. This is a planning and development consultancy service, rather than construction work: the requirement is to advise on the proposed scheme and take it to the planning-submission stage. Delivery is associated with Diamond Place in Summertown, Oxford. The procurement covers one lot and is relevant to planning consultancies with experience advising on housing-led, mixed-use development and coordinating proposals that include community and health facilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Savills (UK) Limited. The buyer used a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 December 2027, with an option to extend by up to six months to make the planning submission; the maximum extent date is 22 February 2028. The awarded contract value is £62,101.20 including VAT. The requirement was handled as a single lot. The published procurement information does not describe award or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing proposals were assessed cannot be stated from the available details.

For planning consultancies, this award demonstrates demand from Oxford City Housing (Development) Limited for advice that carries a housing-led development from early planning work through to submission. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show it can advise on a site with several proposed uses and bring forward proposals for homes alongside health and community facilities. Relevant strengths include planning strategy, development management, preparation and coordination of a planning application, and the ability to support a project through the submission milestone. The appointed supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that an established firm can compete for this scale of commission; the work itself is a focused consultancy appointment rather than a construction contract. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence relevant mixed-use planning experience and the capacity to deliver a submission-ready scheme.
