UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council has recently completed a procurement process titled “Beam Casework Services,” focusing on housing services within the services industry category. The procurement aimed to provide software-enabled support services for homeless individuals or those at risk of homelessness, primarily in the Oxford area. Key objectives included empowering households to secure accommodation in the Private Rented Sector and offering additional support such as employment and tenancy sustainment. The contract, awarded to BEAM UP LTD, commenced on 15th April 2026 and is set to last until 27th May 2027, with a potential renewal for an additional twelve months. This contract, valued at £330,000 (excluding VAT), was governed by UK Public Procurement legislation (UKPGA 2023/54) and followed a light-touch regime for tenders below the financial threshold.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the social services and technology sectors that specialize in innovative housing solutions. Companies that develop software facilitating housing support and engagement between service providers and users are well-positioned to benefit from similar public contracts. Furthermore, businesses offering ancillary services, like employment support and tenancy sustainment, could find strategic alliances within such procurement processes, enhancing their service portfolios and fostering economic growth in partnerships with public authorities.
