Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council has completed the award stage for a significant public procurement process, establishing a Flexible Framework for the Provision of Supported Living and Community Based Support Services for Adults with Social Care Needs. This framework, classified under the Health and Social Work Services Industry (CPV Code 85000000), is designed to support adults facing challenges related to mental health, learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and complex care needs. The framework will last from 1st November 2024 until 31st October 2028, with possible extensions until 31st October 2031. The procurement method used was an Open Procedure, in line with Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, and the framework is set to facilitate flexible service delivery within the Renfrewshire region, UKM83. The total contract value is estimated at GBP 210 million.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services to grow and diversify. Companies with expertise in housing support, personal care, and community-based support are particularly well-suited to compete for individual service contracts under this framework. The arrangement allows for the possibility of new entrants to join the framework over time, offering a flexible and inclusive approach. Businesses must meet specific technical and performance criteria, including registration with the Care Inspectorate and appropriate insurance coverage. This framework can open new markets for service providers and drive improvements in service delivery and community benefits in the Renfrewshire area.
