Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council commissioned a Carers Centre service: a hub coordinating and providing support for adult and young carers living in Renfrewshire. The service is intended to support carers in their caring role, address their wider wellbeing needs and help them achieve personal outcomes. Support is tailored to each carer and can include information and advice, Adult Carer Support Plans, counselling and mental health support, groups, training, respite breaks, volunteering, development work, partnership working and individual support. This is health and social care work delivered in Renfrewshire. The contract is intended to maintain continuity for people already using the service under the previous contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Renfrewshire Carers Centre. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and is active. Its value is £1,145,156.25. Renfrewshire Council used a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a competition, under the rules for social and other specific services and the council’s contract standing orders. The procurement covered a single lot. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The published process information does not state a separate scoring or evaluation formula; the stated procedure was used to secure continuity for people already accessing the service. No contract start or end dates are provided in the process details.

For organisations considering comparable future work with Renfrewshire Council, this award shows demand for a coordinated, person-centred carers service covering both adult and young carers across Renfrewshire. A credible provider would need to offer a broad, integrated package rather than a single support activity: carer advice and planning, counselling or mental health support, peer groups, training, breaks, individual assistance and community development, alongside partnership working. The service also needs to sustain continuity for existing users while responding to individual wellbeing needs and personal outcomes. The selected provider was an SME, and the procurement used a negotiated route without a prior competition; these features describe this award, rather than a general guarantee about future procedures. Relevant experience would include delivering carer support locally and coordinating a range of services around carers’ needs.
