Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council recently awarded a contract to re-open the Peer Outreach Service Framework, specifically in East Ayrshire communities, adding new areas in January 2026. This flexible framework agreement, under the category of services, aims to provide community services and support through rehabilitation services. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, ensuring a transparent and competitive bidding environment. Key dates include the initial expression of interest deadline on 2 February 2026. The framework initially started in 2024, and the terms for the new areas end on 31 January 2027, with a potential extension of one year. The total contract value is £792,000, and successful suppliers include 'We Are With You' and 'The Nest Wellbeing Group'.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for community-focused organisations, particularly those with expertise in rehabilitation and community services within East Ayrshire. The open procurement method fosters an inclusive environment encouraging both new and existing providers to apply, thereby potentially expanding their services to new geographical areas such as Stewarton, Galston/Newmilns, and New Cumnock. Businesses, especially SMEs familiar with the community landscape, stand to gain by engaging in this framework, enhancing their portfolio and contributing to regional community development. The contract's flexible nature allows for the inclusion of additional areas, aligning business growth with community needs as new funding becomes available.
