What is being bought

Oxford University Estate Services (OUES) intends to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of building design consultancy services across its estate including but not limited to architectural, structural, landscape architecture and associated specialist disciplines. We are looking to engage with consultants to support the delivery of a wide range of capital and refurbishment projects across our estate, from feasibility and concept design through to technical design, construction support, and post-occupancy evaluation. The framework will underpin the Estates Services commitment to net zero carbon and support a digital focus on how we deliver the capital pipeline for Oxford University in line with the Estates Strategic Plan. The contract length is still be determined, but will likely be for a period of 8 years. This contract will cover construction projects valued from £0.5m to £20m.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (71000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 713,3173 median · 31.7 average (829 of 3,317 with a bid count)3.6 average (923 of 3,317 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
