Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council is conducting the 'Learning Pathways Plus' tender, which aims to commission services tailored for children and young people with additional support needs across the region. This procurement, classified under the services category, is currently in the Award stage, having seen its submission period close on 25 June 2019. The primary locations for service delivery are various sites throughout Aberdeenshire, with contracts totalling £1,456,000 offered across four distinct lots: Community Based Services, Therapeutic Interventions, Offsite Curricular Enhancement, and Onsite Curricular Enhancement. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing any interested parties to submit proposals.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, therapeutic interventions, and community support training. Companies that focus on educational psychology, outdoor learning experiences, or provide arts therapies could particularly benefit from the scope of this procurement. Additionally, enterprises equipped to deliver bespoke services to young people—with a strong emphasis on inclusion and access—would be well-positioned to compete for these contracts. The established framework agreements and community benefits policy further highlight Aberdeenshire Council's commitment to fostering local partnerships and sustainable practices in service delivery.
