Procurement Information

Regulation 3 (10) of the Public Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016 makes provision for the aggregation of public contracts where the value of all contracts for similar supplies and services awarded during the previous 12 months must be aggregated. The aggregated value determines whether the contract is over the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) threshold. The contract spend over the previous 12 months is GBP111,000 and the value of the proposed award is GBP360,000 The combined value of GBP471,000 is below the Light Touch Regime threshold (GBP552,950 excluding VAT) and therefore, in line with the Scottish Government guidance on the Procurement of Care and Support, the Council can choose not to seek offers for Social Care and Other Related Services contracts on a case by case basis. Council Executive gave approval for an exemption from Contract Standing Orders for a direct award for independent support and counselling for those that have suffered trauma and abuse to Wellbeing Scotland for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for 24 months, effective from 1st June 2023 until 31 May 2028 with a total estimated value of GBP360,000
