Tender description

A good ‘Carer Support Service’ is one that recognises, values, and empowers unpaid carers—providing them with the practical, emotional, and social support they need to maintain their own wellbeing while caring for others. This will help to shape more resilient communities and complement the Oxfordshire Way , the Council’s strategic vision. We want the people of Oxfordshire to live well and independently in their communities, remaining fit and healthy for as long as possible. This means intervening early to support individuals, helping people retain their skills and confidence, and preventing need or delaying deterioration wherever possible, and supporting unpaid carers in their caring role. ## Contract award Title: Carers Support Service

About the buyer

Oxfordshire County Council governs the county of Oxfordshire, and buys as a local authority under its own contract procedure rules. Opportunities are advertised on the South East Business Portal, and larger contracts move to the Find a Tender Service. Hampshire County Council processes supplier registration and invoicing through a shared online self-service system. Suppliers use that system to upload invoices, receive purchase orders and track payment status. The Procurement Act 2023 introduced a more flexible competitive procedure for contracts advertised since February 2025. Ethical and social value standards apply throughout tender evaluation for the council's larger contracts.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Oxfordshire County Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and business services.
