Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of residential respite and activity clubs for children and young people with disabilities. The contract has been awarded to Aberlour Child Care Trust, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Elgin, UKM62 region. This procurement, classified under social work services with accommodation, was carried out using a limited procedure without prior publication, signifying an award procedure that directly identified the supplier. The contract, worth £585,990, was signed on 25th February 2025. The services will primarily be delivered in the UKM91 area, which encompasses localities including Newtown St Boswells.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in social services and activities tailored to support children and young people with disabilities. Given the direct award nature of this procurement, businesses focusing on such niche services might find it beneficial to cultivate relationships with regional authorities like the Scottish Borders Council to position themselves for future opportunities. Enterprises with expertise in residential care, respite services, and inclusive activity planning within the region are well-equipped to compete for similar contracts. The involvement of Aberlour Child Care Trust exemplifies the opportunity for SMEs to gain such contracts when they align well with service requirements and regional needs.
