Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being led by North Ayrshire Council, which has issued a tender for the "Provision of Self Directed Support Information and Advice." This initiative targets the general public services sector and encompasses the geographical areas of North, South, and East Ayrshire, with the contract period set to start from August 1, 2020, and lasting three years, with possible extensions of up to 24 months based on performance. The bidding process followed an open procurement method, and the submission deadline was January 27, 2020, aligning with various necessary compliance and service delivery criteria.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for organisations that specialise in social care services and support provision, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive information and advice tailored to individual needs under the Self-Directed Support framework. Businesses with a background in community services, campaign engagement, or those that can demonstrate relevant experience in similar contracts are encouraged to compete, as well as small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that can fulfil the council's requirements effectively. This project not only aims to enhance service delivery for supported individuals but also promotes collaboration among the councils involved.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Social Care (Self-Directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013 ('the Act') came in to effect April 1st, 2014. The Act gives people flexibility around how their eligible identified social care is arranged, delivered and managed. It helps people to make informed decisions about how much choice, responsibility and ongoing control they want over their own support arrangements. The Act imposes a duty on Council's to provide four options to all adults, children and carers eligible for support or provided with services. The Act requires all Councils to explain the nature, effect and impact of all four options. North, South and East Ayrshire Councils must have an independent organisation to provide information and advice on all four options and to assist people in making informed choices to meet their identified support plan outcomes.

Renewal: Up to 24 months dependant on performance and budget availability
