Large lump sum savings best options.... and associated tax?

Options
Hi all

I had a quick look at the sticky regards easy access savings accounts:
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/?_gl=1*8go89e*FPAU*MTY0MDMzNTQ5Ni4xNzMzNTY4NjM5*_ga*MjA2MTIzNDIxOC4xNzMzNTY4NjM4*_ga_X74CWQS9F0*MTczMzU2ODYzNy4xLjEuMTczMzU3MDExNy4wLjAuMjAyOTM4MjYxMg..

I have a 6 figure sum to bank for 3 to 6 months. It will be at least 3 months, then probably should be easy access thereafter as I will need to buy a house out of it at some point.

If I go for Plum or Oxbury per above links, what do I need to be aware of regards tax on the income from these savings?

Are there any other options for maximising the income and minimising income tax over this short period?

Appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you.
