Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This contracting process pertains to the intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, located in Oxford, UK. The contract, titled "Safe Haven Plus worker," falls within the health and social work services category. The procurement follows a limited method, specifically a Direct Award Process, without prior publication due to service repetition conditions. This process is currently in the award stage, with the notice marking the onset of the standstill period commencing on 19th March 2026. The anticipated contract value is approximately £46,673 GBP.

The procurement positions a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health services, particularly those that have experience working within NHS frameworks or similar health organisations. With the contract primarily targeted at the provision of advisory and case worker services, enterprises with expertise in managing referrals and offering service pathways stand to benefit. Established entities familiar with the regulations specific to healthcare provider selection, as defined by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, are also well-positioned to compete effectively in this procurement process. Although the initial award decision favoured the existing provider, Citizens Advice Buckinghamshire Ltd, due to its satisfactory fulfilment of contract standards, the open nature of this procurement suggests growth opportunities for similar large-scale businesses in the industry.
