Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for a service titled "School Holiday Respite Service," aimed at delivering support to children and young people with moderate to severe learning disabilities in Edinburgh.

This procurement was classified under the services category and was conducted through a limited procurement method, following an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as permitted under specific provisions of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. The contract was awarded to Action for Children, with a total value of £314,055, and the date of contract signing was 28th January 2021.

Procurement Information

Section 13 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 allows for award without seeking offers, but should consider the TFEU fundamental principles where relevant. Due to the specific needs of the children and young people who receive this service and the highly specialised skill set required to care for them, the supply market for this service is limited. As such it was deemed to be in the best interests of the children and young people to award this contract to ensure continuity of service.
