OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, based in Victoria Quay, Edinburgh, has awarded a contract for "Independent Child Trafficking Guardians" within the services industry category. This contract, valued at £6,500,000 GBP, focuses on providing vital support services to unaccompanied children and young people in Scotland who may have been victims of human trafficking. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with the contract period extending from 27 February 2023 to 31 March 2026. This awarding marks the "award" and "contract" stages, with an implementation period that included a significant amendment for additional funding due to unforeseen circumstances. Key contacts include Scott Brice at the Scottish Government and the review body is the Edinburgh Sheriff Court. The opportunity closed on 29 September 2022, with awards, contracts, and updates recorded in subsequent periods.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in services for vulnerable populations, particularly those with expertise in social welfare, child protection, and human trafficking prevention. SMEs such as the Scottish Refugee Council, who successfully secured this tender, illustrate that businesses with experience in offering tailored support to at-risk children and navigating complex asylum processes are well-suited to compete. The contract invites service providers to offer innovative and effective solutions within a robust and regulated framework, fostering long-term partnerships and reputational enhancement in public sector collaborations.
