Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council has completed the contracting process for services related to Floating Housing Support and Supported Accommodation within the UKM84 region. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure, involved a comprehensive tender for social work services with accommodation, with contracts signed on 20th May 2025. The procurement stage has successfully moved to the award phase, and the contracts are set to commence on 1st August 2025 and run through 31st January 2027, with an optional extension to 31st March 2028. Notably, this tender process required the use of PCS-Tender for submissions and included relevant probity checks due to security concerns associated with the service area. Two primary lots were awarded: one to Simon Community Scotland for Supported Accommodation and Floating Housing Support, and another to Blue Triangle for Supported Accommodation Service, with annual budgets of £1,251,240 and £211,775 respectively.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) specialising in social services and housing support. The contract requirements emphasise the need for robust service delivery capabilities and qualifications, such as registration with the Care Inspectorate and the Scottish Social Services Council. Businesses with expertise in fulfilling statutory obligations for social work services and a focus on community engagement will find this tender a promising avenue. The structured tender process and clear award criteria offer a transparent and competitive environment for capable service providers to secure a substantial contract portfolio within the public sector.”
