Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council procured housing support services in East Dunbartonshire. The requirement covers the provision of support services associated with housing, delivered for the council’s local area. The council is the buying organisation and a regional or local authority. The service category is housing services. The contract involves staff whose names and qualifications must be provided, so it is suited to organisations able to supply appropriately qualified personnel and manage a supported housing service. TUPE may apply, meaning relevant employees may transfer to the successful provider. Access to TUPE information required completion of a confidentiality undertaking. The selected supplier, Blue Triangle, is based in Glasgow and is identified as a large organisation. The procurement attracted three bids, including one from an SME.

This procurement has been awarded. East Dunbartonshire Council used an open procedure. The tender closed on 29 April 2026 at 12:00, following an extension requested by bidders; tenders were opened at 13:00 that day at East Dunbartonshire Council Head Office, Southbank Marina, Kirkintilloch. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and price at 40%. Blue Triangle was awarded the contract on 13 July 2026, with an active contract signed on that date. The contract value is £412,235. The original estimated tender value was £400,000. The contract period is three years, with options for two further 12-month extensions, making the estimated maximum period five years. Electronic ordering and payment apply, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity indicates established local authority demand for housing support services in East Dunbartonshire, delivered by a provider able to demonstrate relevant experience, capacity and capability with similar services and clients. A credible future competitor would need staff with suitable qualifications and a robust approach to supplying and managing the service, including continuity arrangements where TUPE applies. Financial standing requirements included general annual turnover of at least £160,000 over the previous three years, together with professional indemnity insurance of £5 million, employers’ liability insurance of £10 million and public liability insurance of £5 million, each per claim. Suppliers also needed to be registered on the relevant professional or trade register. The evaluation shows that service quality was weighted more heavily than price.
