Summary of the contracting process

The Oxfordshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the Community Network Service (Lot 1) and Urgent Community Link Service (Lot 2) for the provision of services to the community.

The Council's focus on strengthening joint working with various sectors offers great potential for suppliers to contribute to the prevention agenda and build resilient communities. Businesses with expertise in community services and the delivery of information and advice would be well-suited to compete for these contracts and contribute to the local community's health and well-being.
