Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Asylum Dispersal Support Contract was conducted by Oxford City Council, located at Oxford Town Hall, St Aldates, Oxford, OX1 1BX, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically social work and related services, and covers the region of Oxford. The procurement process was completed via a "Below threshold - unknown" method. Initiated as a tender, the contract was awarded to ASYLUM WELCOME, operating from Unit 7 Newtec Place, Oxford. The active contract commenced on 19th June 2026 and is scheduled to end on 18th June 2027, with a potential extension of up to 18 months. The contract value is set at £200,000, and the procurement stage is complete as of the latest award date recorded on 27th July 2026.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work and support services, particularly those experienced in managing accommodation support for asylum seekers. Companies classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially those with a voluntary and community sector engagement, are well-suited for such contracts. The nature of this contract aligns well with organisations that provide localised social services and can collaborate with public authorities like Oxford City Council to support community welfare initiatives. Engaging in such contracts can support business growth through steady revenue streams and the expanded scope for service provision in government-supported projects.
