Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking to procure an Information & Advice Service for Black and Ethnic Minority (BME) carers of disabled children, with the tender 'CT2263' currently being in the active stage. The tender period is set to end on 20th November 2017, following an open procurement method. The delivery location is within the City of Edinburgh, and the associated contract is intended to provide valuable support to a specific community. The council has emphasised a quality-focused evaluation process, assigning 70% of the scoring to quality and 30% to cost considerations.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those with experience in providing advisory services to minority communities. Companies that are well-equipped to address the specific needs of BME parents and carers, and have robust policies ensuring staff qualifications and compliance with insurance requirements, are particularly well-suited to compete. The potential for a 12-month contract extension further enhances the opportunity for sustainable business growth in this sector.
