Children and Young People Engagement
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Oxfordshire County Council had initiated a tender process titled "Children and Young People Engagement," in the sector of social work and related services. The officer in charge of procurement was Priscilla Opare Mintah. The procurement was set to take place within the region of Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, with a contract value of £60,000.
The tender was part of an open competition aimed below the threshold, and was scheduled to commence on 22 December 2025, running for a 12-month period with the potential for a 12-month extension. Despite the initial tender opening date in October 2025, the process was ultimately cancelled as of 10 November 2025 due to the receipt of a sole bid that exceeded the budget. This tender presented significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in social work services, with a strong emphasis on community engagement and participant inclusion.
Organisations with expertise in consultation, experience in policy and practice improvements, and a strong approach to consultation and engagement were poised to benefit. The opportunity sought providers capable of enhancing outcomes for children and young people within participative roles and who could contribute effectively to the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Partnership's goals.
The Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (OSCP) aims to ensure the safety and well-being of children and young people in Oxfordshire. The OSCP is committed to regularly consulting with children and young people on priorities, service developments, and key issues. This includes ensuring inclusive participation across diverse backgrounds and needs, with no group excluded or discriminated against.
The OSCP will contract a 12-month Children and Young People Participation Project Officer to support the strategy, leading and developing participation projects with children, young people, and families. The primary purpose of the Children and Young People Participation Project Officer role is to ensure the active involvement of children, young people, and their families in the safeguarding process, thereby improving outcomes and experiences for those involved. This role will provide a platform for children's and young people's voices to be heard within the OSCP.
The contract period will be for 12 months with the option to extend for a further 12 months.
