## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council is conducting a procurement process titled "CPU 1909 - LD Respite Services," aimed at sourcing respite services for individuals with learning disabilities. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and has been classified as an open procedure. The contract period is set to commence from 16th October 2018 and will conclude on 15th October 2023. Interested parties had until 10th May 2018 to submit their tenders, and the awarded contract, valued at £7,665,000, has been assigned to The Brandon Trust.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), looking to expand their services in the health and social care sector. With a focus on enhancing support for individuals with learning disabilities, businesses offering respite care services or related support are encouraged to engage, as this aligns with the Council's commitment to transparency and equal treatment in its procurement activities.

## Notice

In commissioning these services, it is the Council's intention to go out to the market for respite services for people with a learning disability. The subject matter of this procurement process relates to the delivery of services which are listed to in Schedule 3 to the regulations. As such the full regime 2 / 4 set out in the regulations will not apply to the award of the service contract. Consequently, the procurement process adopted by the Commissioners has been developed in accordance with Regulation 76 of the regulations and in particular in accordance with the fundamental public procurement principles of transparency and equal treatment. For the avoidance of doubt this means that the Commissioners have not adopted the open procedure (as such term is defined in the regulations) for the undertaking of this procurement process.
