Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement contracting process led by Dundee City Council involves the awarding of a contract for the provision of an Intensive Support Service for Vulnerable Children, Young People, and Families across Dundee. This process falls under the social care industry category and has been completed with an award to the supplier, Includem, as of 1st April 2024. The procurement method utilised was limited, specifically without prior publication of a call for competition, demonstrating a specialised service provision continuing on a rolling contract. The procurement's main category is services, and the process was executed across the UKM71 region, with an award value of £143,000. Relevant parties involved include Dundee Sheriff Court and the Scottish Courts Service as mediation and review bodies.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for service providers with expertise in intensive support for vulnerable demographics. The project would be particularly suitable for organisations skilled in delivering social care services, with a focus on supporting children and families in challenging situations. There is ample room for large-scale businesses experienced in offering tailored support services to compete in similar procurement ventures, assuming they can demonstrate a high level of competency and reliability akin to that exhibited by Includem in securing the contract. As this tender is part of a continued, specialist service provision, it may provide ongoing opportunities for businesses to engage in long-term service delivery partnerships with local authorities.
