Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council is seeking to establish a Flexible Framework for Self Directed Support, including Care at Home Services, aimed at delivering essential social work services in North Lanarkshire. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £820,000,000 and a maximum framework duration of ten years. The tender procedure was initiated in accordance with Regulation 74 related to social and specific services and involved 47 bids being submitted to date, including 28 from small and medium-sized enterprises. Key dates include a contract signed on the 1st of March 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in social care services, homecare, or support for individuals with specific needs. Companies looking to participate must be registered with the Care Inspectorate and demonstrate compliance with strict probity requirements, as enhanced checks are enforced due to the contract's sensitivity to serious organised crime infiltration risks. Suppliers capable of innovative and flexible service delivery methods, particularly SMEs, would be well-positioned to take advantage of this framework.
