Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process conducted by Perth & Kinross Council focuses on providing supportive services for children and families within the region, specifically targeting those from birth to school age. Titled "PKC12913 Support for Children and Families," this initiative falls under the Education and Training Services category. The venture is aimed at addressing various family issues through early intervention efforts. The procurement stage is complete, with key elements including an open procedure and the contract awarded to Home-Start Perth and Kinross. Occurring within the Perth and Kinross area, this process had a contract originally valued at £150,000 for an initial three-year term as a part of ongoing commitments with opportunities for potential extensions.

This tender presents significant avenues for business growth, particularly for organisations experienced in educational and social care services. Businesses focusing on family support, with expertise in early childhood development, communication skills, and personal care education, would find this opportunity highly suitable. The awarded contact criteria were heavily weighted towards quality (70%), indicating a preference for providers with robust, proven service delivery methods and detailed reporting capabilities. Furthermore, SMEs with strong local ties in North Perth, South Perth, and Blairgowrie could leverage this initiative to enhance their community-specific solutions, ultimately fostering regional service integration and development.
