Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has recently completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Award of Contract for South West (Canalside) Older People's Day Opportunities." This initiative falls under the services industry category and is located within the South West locality of Edinburgh. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was finalised on 11th April 2022. The council aimed to enhance the quality of life for older residents, ensuring they remain socially engaged and active citizens.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that provide services catering to older populations, particularly those focused on social engagement and community support. Businesses that specialise in elderly care services, activity programming, or social services may find this contract particularly attractive. With the emphasis on improving local day opportunities for older people, companies with relevant experience and a commitment to enhancing community wellbeing could benefit significantly from participation in similar future tenders.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement had been previously published on PCS as part of Day Opportunities Framework in January 2020. It was anticipated that the incumbent provider would bid however they did not and as such, there was not enough capacity within the South West of Edinburgh. Various PIN's have since been published to establish interest from the market, the latest being in May 2021. Two providers indicated interest and negotiations were undertaken. However, one provider withdrew their interest and negotiations continued with the remaining provider (expedited due to the lack of service within the SW).
