Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council has initiated a tender process for the "Carers Support Service I-4805" project, under the industry category of 'Other community, social and personal services' as well as 'Health and social work services'. The contract, with an anticipated gross value of £12,859,572, aims to support unpaid carers within Oxfordshire. This open procurement process follows a competitive flexible procedure, and the tender is currently in the 'active' stage.

Interested parties have until 12:00 PM on 17th December 2025 to submit their bids via the South East Business Portal, with further enquiries allowed until 16th December 2025. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2036. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses capable of delivering high-quality community or social services, particularly those with experience in supporting carers or providing health services.

The evaluation process includes a Preliminary Selection Questionnaire and will assess tenders based on quality, with an emphasis on supplier method statements and price considerations, including an optional interview phase. The procurement encourages participation from SMEs and VCSEs, making it suitable for diverse entities looking to expand their operations within Oxfordshire, tap into public sector procurement, and contribute to the Council's strategic vision of fostering independent living within vibrant communities.

Notice Description

A good 'Carer Support Service' is one that recognises, values, and empowers unpaid carers--providing them with the practical, emotional, and social support they need to maintain their own wellbeing while caring for others. This will help to shape more resilient communities and complement the Oxfordshire Way , the Council's strategic vision. We want the people of Oxfordshire to live well and independently in their communities, remaining fit and healthy for as long as possible.

This means intervening early to support individuals, helping people retain their skills and confidence, and preventing need or delaying deterioration wherever possible, and supporting unpaid carers in their caring role.
