Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Life (Culture & Sport Glasgow) has completed the procurement process for the provision of play services to children and young people with additional support needs and their families, under the title "Play Services for Children and Young People with Additional Support Needs and their Families". The procurement, which falls under the industry category of General public services, was conducted in Glasgow (region UKM82) and was at its award stage as of 4th March 2025. The procurement method employed was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified under Section 12 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, and resulted in a contract worth £570,000 signed on 30th January 2025 with The Yard Adventure Centre based in Edinburgh.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses capable of delivering health or social care services, particularly those focusing on the special needs of children and young people. Given the specialised nature of the services required, organisations with experience in delivering inclusive play services or those with a strong background in supporting families with additional needs are well-suited to compete. The successful bidder, The Yard Adventure Centre, highlights the importance of expertise and experience in these fields, demonstrating how targeted, purpose-driven services can create beneficial partnerships with public entities like Glasgow Life.
