Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Shetland Islands Council focused on the Provision of Financial Health and Fuel Poverty Advice Services, classified under community health services. The project was categorised as a 'services' procurement and was situated in UKM66, the Shetland region of the United Kingdom. The procurement reached the award stage and completed on 2nd March 2026. Utilising a limited procurement method, the contract was awarded directly without prior competition call, due to regulation stipulations. The contract is valued at £472,000 and has been awarded to Shetland Islands Citizens Advice Bureau.

This procurement process presents advantageous opportunities for businesses involved in community health services and social care, especially those that can offer expertise in financial health and fuel poverty advisory. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a regional presence or those operating locally in Shetland could particularly benefit. As the award was based on a direct selection, firms with established credibility and presence in the locality stand better poised to engage with similar future tenders from regional authorities like the Shetland Islands Council.
