Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has successfully completed the procurement for "CT1235 - Out of Hours Support and Accommodation for Patients of Lothian and Edinburgh Abstinence Programme (LEAP)" under the Light Touch Regime as per the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This contract, which falls under the rehabilitation services industry category, is located in the UKM75 region. The procurement was conducted through a selective procedure involving negotiations, and the process was completed on 20 March 2025. This service focuses on providing quasi-residential accommodation and support to patients undergoing the LEAP programme. Notably, it ensures that suppliers adhere to mandatory requirements such as the prompt payment of subcontractors within 30 days and paying at least the real Living Wage to staff working on the council framework.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of delivering specialised rehabilitation services. Companies with expertise in the provision of out-of-hours support and accommodation services, particularly those with experience in addiction treatment and recovery care, would be well-suited to compete for such tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the council’s stringent quality and compliance standards, including environmental management and health and safety policies, can find an edge in this market. With only one supplier meeting the requirements this time, there may be further opportunities in future retendering processes, making this an attractive prospect for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public health and social care sector.

    "description": "The Council consider this opportunity to be procured under the Light Touch Regime of Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. As this is a Health and Social Care type contract, the Council were permitted to enter into negotiations with the Cyrenians under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (\"the Act\"), which states that Public Sector Organisations may award without seeking offers, considering the principles of procurement where relevant. In this instance, as there was no suitable supply market other than the incumbent provider and this contract falls within the category of contracts covered by Regulation 74 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and is being awarded in accordance with the process set out in Regulation 33, in particular Regulation 33 (1) section (b) where the works, supplied or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons - (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons; there is a limited supply market. It is a mandatory requirement of this Contract that a prompt payment clause is present, which ensures payment of sub-contractors at all stages of the supply chain within 30 days and includes an obligation to provide a point of contact for sub-contractors to refer to in the case of payment difficulties. It is a mandatory requirement that organisations pay staff who work on the council framework pay at least the real Living Wage. (SC Ref:795015)",
