Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process, initiated by East Ayrshire Council, focuses on securing services for "Supported Accommodation for Young People (Whatriggs Road)" located in Kilmarnock, UKM93. The role of the buyer in this process is undertaken by East Ayrshire Council, known for its commitment to public services. The procurement, conducted under the Light Touch Regime, bypassed the typical call for competition, adhering instead to a limited procurement method due to the repetitive nature of existing services. The contract was signed on 23rd April 2025 and currently remains active, valued at £1,100,000. Notably, the award and subsequent contract were granted to Blue Triangle (Glasgow) Housing Association Limited, evidencing a direct and limited negotiation approach.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in social and supported accommodation services, particularly those with a focus on youth services and a capacity for continuity of existing frameworks. Companies in the public and social housing sector, especially those familiar with regional authority partnerships, may find strategic opportunities for growth by aligning with the goals of accommodating at-risk or disadvantaged young people. Such alignments can lead to enhanced collaborations with local councils and wider public authorities that prioritise community-driven projects. With the Light Touch Regime in effect, this procurement encourages specialised service providers to capitalise on streamlined contract negotiations, thus extending their influence and impact within the public sector marketplace.
