## Summary

Oxfordshire County Council has completed the procurement process for Intercountry Adoption Services, as of 23rd June 2026. This process aimed to provide comprehensive adoption services to residents of several areas, including Oxfordshire, Reading, and Swindon, amongst others. The procurement method was direct, without competition, and the main industry category was services focused on guidance and counselling. The contract, valued at £147,535.20 gross, is active and commenced on 23rd June 2026, with a potential renewal extending to 31st March 2029. The services are crucial in aligning with UK adoption policy and legislative requirements.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in adoption services, guidance, and counselling, particularly those looking to expand their operations in the public sector across multiple administrative areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would find this tender especially beneficial due to its emphasis on comprehensive service delivery without the competitive bidding process typically associated with above-threshold tenders. The primary supplier, CORAM Intercountry Adoption Centre, an SME based in London, exemplifies the type of organisation well-suited for such contracts, highlighting the potential for similar entities to thrive within this procurement framework.
