Summary of the contracting process

The East Dunbartonshire Council is seeking suppliers for the provision of housing support services under the tender titled "EDC/2024/4117 Housing Support." This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically housing services, and is located in East Dunbartonshire, United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the update stage with notable amendments to the timelines; the deadline for submissions has been extended from 22nd April 2026 to 29th April 2026. The procurement method used is the open procedure, allowing wide participation, and is governed by legal basis 32014L0024. Interested parties must adhere to strict submission requirements, ensuring all documentation is electronically submitted as stipulated by the council's submission method details. Key contact for this procurement process is Lorna Dunn, reachable at lorna.dunn@eastdunbarton.gov.uk.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in housing services to engage in a substantial contract valued at £400,000 with the potential for renewal beyond the initial term. It is especially suited for those businesses that can demonstrate solid technical and professional capability, as the evaluation criteria place a 60% emphasis on technical aspects and 40% on price. To qualify, businesses must meet specific financial and suitability standards, including minimum turnover requirements of £160,000 annually over the last three years and appropriate insurance levels. Entities already established and registered with professional bodies in their home countries stand a strong chance of success, given the PASS/FAIL evaluation criteria. This opportunity not only promises direct revenue generation through service provision but also offers a strategic platform for influencing regional housing support services through a constructive collaboration with a local authority.
