## Summary

The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP) has completed the procurement process for the "European Programmes Compliance Support" contract, which focuses on providing compliance expertise for various European Funded projects. The procurement, classified under business services such as law, marketing, and consulting, was executed through an open procedure. The initial tender period ended on 6th October 2020, and the contract commenced on 19th October 2020, with a total contract value of £141,600. The project required suppliers to be able to offer flexible support of approximately 10 days per month up until the contract's completion date on 19th October 2021.

This procurement opportunity can significantly benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those with expertise in compliance and project management within the context of European funding. Companies that can demonstrate a robust understanding of compliance issues related to European funds, including eligibility, procurement, and audit processes, would be well-suited to compete for future contracts in this area and potentially expand their services into other compliance-related opportunities across various sectors.

## Notice

Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP) is looking to procure compliance expertise to support the delivery of its suite of European Funded projects and non-European funded activities, as required. This currently includes two European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) projects and a European Social Fund (ESF) project. The support must cover the full range of compliance issues, including eligibility, procurement, audit, branding, State Aid, etc. It is envisaged the successful provider will provide approximately 10 days per month support on a flexible basis to take account of peaks in business demand. Suppliers are asked to provide a response covering the period November 2020 - October 2021 (12 months), with the option of an 18 month extension, funding permitting.
