Seamless Facilities Management in and outside the building

Welcome to oxfordworkplace

oxfordworkplace is a purpose-led partnership between ODS and Q3 Services, delivering integrated facilities management across Oxfordshire.

WHY we do what we do
We exist to create opportunity across Oxfordshire. As a council-owned business, we reinvest profits in public services and support young people into employment, skills, and future careers, ensuring that our success directly benefits the communities we serve.

HOW we do it
We deliver this through a relationship-led, fully integrated model that brings the inside and outside of the building together. By managing estates as one joined-up system, we provide a single, accountable partner focused on long-term performance and value. 

WHAT we offer
We provide end-to-end services, from infrastructure and construction through to cleaning, compliance and workplace management, all delivered through one contract, one team and one coordinated approach.

We do it all, inside and out, for Oxford, for its people, and for their future.

The oxfordworkplace Way

Nurturing relationships is how we operate – building up a range of best-in-class services that deliver quality and value. 

Our future is centred on a relationship management approach that anticipates our clients’ future needs, their environmental targets, and their aspirations in terms of space and service provision. We work with them to create long-term success.   

We believe in the power of integration – linking service lines to find synergies in service and cost, removing duplication in management and creating flexibility. Above all, our future is about working as one with our clients and sharing their goals.

We call it The oxfordworkplace Way.

Mission Driven FM: More Than Service Delivery

We believe facilities management should do more than maintain buildings. It should actively improve the communities those buildings serve.

Through oxfordworkplace, every contract contributes to:

  • Returning profit to public services in Oxford

  • Creating jobs and apprenticeships for local people

  • Supporting young people into employment and skills pathways

  • Strengthening the local economy through supply chains

This is not just words. It is built into how we deliver.
