Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bexley commissioned learning disability and autism programme support for people with autism who are rated green on the Dynamic Support Register. The service is intended to provide support in line with the procurement specification. It is a social work and related service, delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Bexley. The requirement is focused on support for this defined group rather than a broad autism or learning disability service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Bexley used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is active. The requirement was described as support for people with autism rated green on the Dynamic Support Register, in accordance with the specification; no separate evaluation basis is recorded.

This award shows demand from the London Borough of Bexley for targeted support for autistic people on the green level of its Dynamic Support Register. A credible provider would need the capability to deliver the specified support to this group and to work within the local authority’s programme requirements. Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, a large NHS provider, was selected through a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competitive tender benchmark or detailed supplier qualifications. For providers considering similar work for Bexley, relevant experience in learning disability and autism support, the ability to serve the defined population, and capacity to meet the specification would be commercially pertinent when this requirement next returns to market.
