The Trust will be holding dedicated virtual engagement events on the afternoon of 23 September 2024, and are seeking expressions of interest from interested suppliers in attending these virtual events. Events will be held on MS Teams, and there will be two specific events: once for adult services, and one for young persons services. Suppliers who wish to attend one of the events should contact the Business Services Team (businessservices@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk) to book a place.

Interested suppliers will be able to view this opportunity via the live opportunities list on the Trusts registered portal www.nhssourcing.co.uk, once the tender opportunity has been published.
