Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Community Support Framework" initiated by East Lothian Council, a regional or local authority dedicated to providing general public services, is currently under the tender stage. This open procedure is set to provide Community Day Support services for adults aged 16 and over in East Lothian, which falls under the industry category associated with CPV code 85000000. The procurement method involves electronic submission, with key deadlines including the tender submission closing date on 5th September 2025, and the award period commencing the same day. Located at John Muir House in Haddington, East Lothian, the council offers this opportunity with the aim to establish a framework agreement, potentially extending up to four additional years beyond the contract period of 1440 days.

This tender presents significant prospects for businesses specialising in adult community support services, particularly those adept in delivering centre-based provisions and personalised 1:1 support within homes or for community engagement activities. Companies experienced in frameworks and capable of adhering to electronic ordering and invoicing requirements will find this opportunity especially favourable. The maximum lot bidding limit per supplier is 999, indicating substantial scope for large-scale operations. Furthermore, the inclusion of community benefits ensures that participating businesses can contribute positively to the local region, enhancing their corporate social responsibility profiles and potentially fostering long-term growth within the public sector procurement landscape.
