Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council intends to procure occupational therapy minor adaptations, telecare installation services and support for major adaptations. The work combines home adaptation and safety-related services with installation of telecare equipment. It is intended to cover Argyll and Bute, including the islands. Suppliers in occupational therapy adaptations, telecare and communications equipment installation, or major adaptations support may find the scope relevant. The procurement is classified as services, with building installation repair and maintenance as its primary classification; it also covers social services and installation work. The Council is undertaking market research to inform its plans for this combined service across the area.

This is at the planning stage: Argyll and Bute Council has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The current exercise is a request for information for market research, with responses requested by Friday 30 October 2026. The Council expects a further notice on 11 January 2027. No procedure, procurement method, contract term or estimated value is set out in the information provided. The work is described as one combined lot covering occupational therapy minor adaptations, telecare installation and major adaptations support throughout Argyll and Bute, including the islands. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The market research response is to be sent by email to the Council.

This may suit suppliers able to deliver a mix of occupational therapy minor adaptations, telecare installations and support for major adaptations across a geographically dispersed area that includes islands. Relevant experience in social services, fitting adaptations and installing communications or telecare equipment would align with the stated scope. The Council is seeking market input before developing the procurement, giving providers in these service areas an opportunity to inform its understanding of delivery. The information does not set out specific accreditation, staffing, capacity or experience thresholds, so suppliers should assess their fit against the service mix and wide-area delivery requirement rather than assume a particular qualification or scale is mandatory. This is preparation and market research, not an invitation to submit a tender.
