Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Support for Children and Young People who are at Risk of Being Criminally Exploited," a service within the general public services category. The primary location for this tender is Edinburgh, specifically in the UKM75 region. The procurement method used was limited, bypassing a public call for competition due to extreme urgency and the infeasibility of market access within the required timeframe. The contract, valued at £499,921, was awarded to Action for Children and was signed on 31st October 2024. The process is now in the award stage, having been finalised and documented on 17th December 2024.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in social services, particularly those experienced in supporting at-risk youth. The awarded contract underscores the importance of reliable and swift service delivery, making it ideal for non-profit organisations or social enterprises with a proven track record in similar support services. Businesses capable of providing immediate, effective intervention without a lengthy transition period stand to benefit significantly from such opportunities, especially in high-stakes, time-sensitive environments.

Procurement Information

This approach is considered justified and aligned to the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, which states that Public Sector Organisations may award a contract without seeking offers, considering the principles of procurement where relevant. In this instance, there was no suitable supply market that the Council could access within the required timeframe. This method of award will mitigate the risk of a gap in delivery of the services, minimising the impact on the supported young people and families. The approach also takes into consideration that a sudden change in provider would not allow for an effective transition which may be disruptive and damage the relationships that have been established with the young people and families.
