Summary of the contracting process

The Aberdeenshire Council has completed the awarding stage for the National Care Home Contract (NCHC), classified under the Health and Social Work Services category. This procurement process, initiated without prior publication of a call for competition, was directly awarded based on quality with prices set by a national body. The contract valued at £32,000,000 was signed on 8th April 2024. The services will be delivered in the region UKM50, covering various care homes across Scotland. The total number of bids for this contract was 32 foreign bids from non-EU countries, with no SMEs participating.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the health and social care sector, particularly care home providers looking to expand their footprint in Scotland. The contract awards to well-established suppliers such as The Church of Scotland Social Care Council (operating as CrossReach), Balhousie Care Group, and Meallmore Ltd. indicate strong competition but also demonstrate the potential for stable, long-term engagements. Companies with a proven track record in providing high-quality care services will find this contract especially beneficial to reinforce their market position and gain substantial revenue through the consistent demand for national care home services.
