Summary of the contracting process

The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP) has completed the procurement process for the "European Programmes Compliance Support" contract, which focuses on providing compliance expertise for various European Funded projects. The procurement, classified under business services such as law, marketing, and consulting, was executed through an open procedure. The initial tender period ended on 6th October 2020, and the contract commenced on 19th October 2020, with a total contract value of £141,600. The project required suppliers to be able to offer flexible support of approximately 10 days per month up until the contract's completion date on 19th October 2021.

This procurement opportunity can significantly benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those with expertise in compliance and project management within the context of European funding. Companies that can demonstrate a robust understanding of compliance issues related to European funds, including eligibility, procurement, and audit processes, would be well-suited to compete for future contracts in this area and potentially expand their services into other compliance-related opportunities across various sectors.
