Oxfordshire County Council: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
Oxfordshire County Council is a county council in the South East. We hold 658 of its award notices, 52 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 7 committee papers from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Oxfordshire County Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 325 of those 658 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Oxfordshire County Council award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.

Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Oxfordshire County Council has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
64% of Oxfordshire County Council's awarded value went through open competition and 2% was awarded directly. A further 33% sits on notices that do not state a route at all. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 64% (£467m)
- Other/Unspecified 33% (£245m)
- Direct 2% (£17.7m)
- Framework/DPS under 1% (£2.0m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Oxfordshire County Council, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Dec 2026 | 2 | Highway Electrical Assets Maintenance, Replacement and LED Conversion Contract | VolkerHighways Limited | £30.0m |
| 30 Jun 2027 | 9 | Supported Transport Dynamic Purchasing Solution (DPS) 20233 award notices, shown once | framework, 2 suppliers | £27.7m |
| 29 Feb 2028 | 17 | Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) Traffic Signals | Telent Technology Services Limited | £12.6m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Oxfordshire County Council published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|
| 19 Jun 2026 | CMDA19062026 - Adult Short Break Service Contract AwardThe TUPE arrangements have been jointly progressed between Procurement, Commissioners, and the Service Provider , prior to publishing the tender documentation. | Delegated Decisions by Cabinet Member for Adults |
| 17 Sep 2026 | 17092026 - Care Home Framework Extension reportThese risks are mitigated by extending the existing, procurement law compliant framework while future commissioning arrangements are developed. | Delegated Decisions by Cabinet Member for Adults |

Where Oxfordshire County Council spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Oxfordshire. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Oxfordshire County Council's own published papers, at https://mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Oxfordshire's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
