## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership Limited focuses on "Social enterprise support," a programme designed to offer services to social enterprises in Oxfordshire. Classified within the 'services' industry category, the procurement method employed for this tender was direct and undertaken without competition, as it was below the threshold. This contract concluded on the 18th of May, 2026, with a contractual period slated from the 4th of June, 2026, until the 4th of September, 2026. The entire process took place in the UK region of Oxford, ensuring the support programme is tailored specifically for the Oxfordshire community.
