Post Adoption Therapy Services - UK1

Oxfordshire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Oxfordshire County Council has announced plans to buy care and healthcare work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £11,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, starting 3 January 2028.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for this buyer (from 34 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £11,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Council wishes to establish an Open Framework for post adoption therapy services. Service will include therapeutic providers delivering attachment-based therapy that has been shown to be helpful in helping children and young people who may have experienced abuse, neglect or trauma in their infancy.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
