Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Penumbra - Enablers Service" project, a contract aimed at delivering an Enabler Service, Carers Support Service, and Peer Support Service for individuals with mental health difficulties. The procurement falls under the Social Care industry category and is located in Dundee. As of July 2025, the process is in the Award stage, with the contract having been signed on April 1, 2024. The tender utilized a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the nature of the contract being on a rolling basis. The total contract value is £214,608.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the social care sector, particularly those capable of delivering mental health services. Large-scale organisations, similar to the awarded supplier Penumbra, who have expertise in providing comprehensive care and support service packages, would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The contract emphasises the need for innovative and experienced players in the mental health support field, seeking to impact community welfare positively whilst enlarging their service portfolio. This opportunity underscores the importance of establishing a strong presence in the social care domain to take advantage of such limited-tender processes.
