Summary of the contracting process

Scotland Excel, a central purchasing body, has established a new 'National Flexible Framework Agreement' for Care and Support Services in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This flexible framework, which falls under the industry category of social work and related services (CPV 85300000), aims to provide care and support services across various locations in Scotland, including 32 local authorities, Tayside Contracts, Scottish Prison Service, NHS Authorities and Trusts, and the Scottish Government. The procurement process is complete, and the framework remains open for new entrants. The initial award date for the contract was 30 September 2024, with the framework valued at £1.5 billion GBP over a period of 2160 days (nearly six years).

This tender offers numerous opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs in the healthcare sector. With no fixed number of providers, businesses of all sizes, including consortiums and groups of economic operators, can apply. The demand for services that cater to the varying needs of individuals who aim to live independently and safely in their own homes allows for diverse business models, from direct care services to specialized mental health and social care providers. The flexibility in the framework, including the ability to join post-establishment and vary service offerings, can attract a wide range of service providers aimed at enhancing the quality of life for people across Scotland.
