About the buyer
Oxfordshire County Council governs the county of Oxfordshire, and buys as a local authority under its own contract procedure rules. Opportunities are advertised on the South East Business Portal, and larger contracts move to the Find a Tender Service. Hampshire County Council processes supplier registration and invoicing through a shared online self-service system. Suppliers use that system to upload invoices, receive purchase orders and track payment status. The Procurement Act 2023 introduced a more flexible competitive procedure for contracts advertised since February 2025. Ethical and social value standards apply throughout tender evaluation for the council's larger contracts.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Oxfordshire County Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and business services.
