Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council, a regional or local authority located in Forfar, is in the planning stage of a significant procurement process for the provision of home and community-based care and support services under SDS Option 3. With an estimated total contract value of £248,358,000, this framework aims to re-establish care and support services in Angus, Scotland, beginning 1 April 2027 and potentially lasting for up to nine years. This procurement exercise, scheduled for a Contract Notice and Invitation to Tender on 27 July 2026, targets the health and social work services sector, specifically focusing on services without accommodation in regions such as Angus North, South, North West, and other localities within Angus. Providers interested in this opportunity must register their interest by 12 noon on 10 July 2026.

This procurement provides a fertile opportunity for businesses in the care industry, especially those specialising in personal and non-personal care for adults with various needs such as learning disabilities, mental health issues, and physical disabilities. The prospective framework is split into several lots, presenting diverse opportunities for both seasoned and emerging service providers to expand their operations across Angus. The framework supports person-centred, outcome-focused care aligned with self-directed support legislation, potentially benefiting businesses capable of delivering tailored care solutions. Given the longevity and scale of the framework, it could be instrumental in driving significant growth for successful bidders, particularly those with expertise in servicing both urban and rural communities.
