Summary of the contracting process

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar is seeking residential, respite and nursing care bed provision for people requiring these services. The contract covers care beds on the Western Isles and is classified as residential nursing care services (CPV 85144100). This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The authority states that community benefit requirements are not included because the requirement is for residential, respite and nursing care bed provision.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with one lot. The tender submission deadline was amended to 30 October 2026 at 14:00 UTC. The contract is intended to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an estimated value of £12 million. Bids are evaluated on price. Submissions are electronic and must be in English; variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. The buyer anticipates a further procurement in late summer 2029.

This opportunity is suited to providers able to deliver residential, respite and nursing care bed provision on the Western Isles. The requirement is for a sustained care service over a multi-year period. The stated award basis is price, so suppliers should be prepared to compete on cost as well as their ability to provide the required care. The published selection criteria direct suppliers to the procurement documents.
