UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University procured a Students Assistance Programme providing wellbeing products and services for students. The requirement is classified as guidance and counselling services, covering support intended to assist student wellbeing. The buying organisation is Oxford Brookes University, based in Oxford. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works, and was arranged as a single requirement. The named service covers student assistance provision, so relevant businesses are those delivering organised wellbeing support, guidance or counselling services to a university student population. The buyer is a public authority in the higher education sector, making this relevant to providers already serving universities or comparable education and public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was awarded to Health Assured Limited, an SME, on 29 June 2026. The active contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 June 2028. Its value is £46,800 excluding VAT, or £56,160 including VAT. The award covers the single Students Assistance Programme requirement and is for services delivered across the United Kingdom. The recorded procurement method was direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The outcome is an active contract with Health Assured Limited; no separate award or contract values are reported.

This procurement demonstrates a university requirement for a defined student wellbeing and assistance service, delivered through guidance and counselling provision. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would be established providers of student assistance, wellbeing support, guidance or counselling services, with the operational ability to serve a university population across the United Kingdom. Experience working with higher education institutions, clear service arrangements for student users and the capacity to provide consistent support across the contract term would strengthen credibility. Health Assured Limited’s participation also shows that an SME can be the selected supplier for this type of university service. Businesses monitoring this buyer should therefore focus on specialist wellbeing provision rather than general facilities, goods or construction work.
