The Adult Short Breaks Service is expected to support a minimum of 170 people per year, operating 24/7 to ensure continuous support for those in need.

Procedure rationaleA UK2 was published in respect of this contract at 10.50am on 31 October 2025. Erroneously, no UK4 was published. 7 organisations attended market engagement. 123 potential participants expressed an interest in the procurement exercise at tender stage. 42 potential participants indicated an intend to submit a bid. 22 bidders submitted a response. Save for the absence of a UK4, Oxfordshire County Council followed a compliant competitive tendering procedure within section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023, and a preferred bidder has been selected from amongst the 22 bidders who submitted a response. Assessment summaries have been circulated. Oxfordshire County Council intends to award the contract to its preferred bidder 30 days from the date of publication of the instant notice. A standstill period has already run and there will be no further standstill period. The dates for future actions in this transparency notice are estimates. The steps in question will be taken on or after the estimated dates, but not before. Owing to the publication of a UK2 and the high number of expressions of interest, Oxfordshire County Council considers it to be likely that this procurement exercise was drawn to the attention of all potential bidders, and further that no potential bidder would be denied a proper opportunity to seek a remedy under section 103 of the Procurement Act 2023 as a result of the absence of a UK4. Oxfordshire County Council is nevertheless publishing this transparency notice in order to ensure that its intention to award this contract is drawn to the attention of any bidder who, contrary to its expectations, would be denied a proper opportunity to seek a pre-contractual remedy within the meaning of section 103 of the Procurement Act 2023. Oxfordshire County Council is using UK5 for this notice. Constraints upon the use of this form mean that it can only be used in certain specific circumstances, including to indicate either a direct award within ss.41-42 of the Procurement Act 2023, or switching to direct award under section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023. Because of these constraints, this form will on the face of it show that Oxfordshire County Council is switching to direct award. As observed above, however, but for the absence of a UK4, Oxfordshire County Council has in fact followed a compliant competitive tendering procedure.
