Summary of the contracting process

The University of Dundee has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Non-Medical Personal Help Services" in Dundee, focusing on special education under the CPV code 80340000. This procurement fell under the services category and utilised an open procedure to establish a framework of suppliers across three lots addressing various support needs. The awards were made on 9 June 2025, with the total contract value of £26 million. The tender process invited bids until 28 February 2025 and intended to enhance support services for students with disabilities through dedicated lots, with YorLinc Ltd and Clear Links Support Ltd being key awarded suppliers.

The framework contract offers considerable growth opportunities for suppliers in the education and support services sectors, particularly those skilled in delivering personalised student support. SMEs providing unique learning assistance, autism spectrum condition support, and roles such as Communication Support Workers and British Sign Language Interpreters are well-suited to benefit. Companies with a background in educational support, including CPV classifications 80400000 and 80000000, can also leverage this project to expand their clientele and demonstrate their commitment to inclusive education practices within university settings like Dundee.
