Summary of the contracting process

The North Lanarkshire Council is inviting tenders for its Flexible Framework for Self Directed Support, including Care at Home Services, referred to as Entry Point 5. The procurement process falls under the Social work services category and aims to bolster services for children, young people, and adults requiring social support within the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of UKM84. This project adheres to The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and follows an open procurement method. Recent updates have postponed the submission deadline to 26th May 2026 at 12 noon due to a bank holiday. Interested contractors not currently part of the framework are encouraged to submit their proposals electronically via the PCS-Tender system.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and care services to expand their market presence by joining a well-established framework. Companies that can demonstrate robust support service delivery and a commitment to community benefits, such as targeted recruitment and training or local sponsorships, will find this tender particularly suitable. SMEs with an existing registration with the Care Inspectorate at the time of submission are in a favourable position to compete. Engagement in this tender can lead to sustained contracts and collaboration with North Lanarkshire Council, facilitating both community development and business growth.
