Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council procured countywide mental health and suicide-prevention training for professionals and volunteers working with Oxfordshire residents. The service covers needs-led training in mental health awareness, suicide awareness, trauma-informed practice, neurodiversity and vicarious trauma. It also includes coordinating training, evaluation, reporting and partnership engagement, with optional additional services if demand or unmet need is identified. The work is health training and adult education. Delivery is across Oxfordshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ANEEMO LIMITED. The award, dated 5 October 2026, is valued at £829,350 excluding VAT (£995,220 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029, with a Council option to extend by up to two years. The open procedure attracted 12 bids. Quality carried 90% of the evaluation weighting and price 10%. There was one lot, suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The Council may commission additional and newly developed courses at its discretion, with this option included in the award value. The supplier will use subcontractors to deliver parts of the service.

This award shows demand for a coordinated, countywide training service spanning mental health and suicide awareness, trauma-informed practice, neurodiversity and vicarious trauma. A credible competitor would need to provide needs-led training for both professionals and volunteers, alongside the operational capability to coordinate delivery, evaluate outcomes, report performance and engage partners. The inclusion of specialist subject areas and provision for additional courses points to the value of a flexible service able to respond to emerging demand and unmet need. The successful supplier’s use of several subcontractors also indicates that delivery can draw on a network of specialist providers. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were expressly considered suitable, and quality was weighted substantially more heavily than price.
