Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has awarded a contract to Barnardo's for providing a Child and Families Support Service in Dundee. The procurement process was completed under a limited method, with contracting concluded via an award procedure without prior publication due to the specialised nature of the service. The procurement falls outside the typical scope as defined by procurement directives. This process, classified under the social care industry category, was aimed at ensuring continuity in service provision. With the contract signed on 1st April 2024, the procurement is now in the active contract stage. The contract is valued at £490,084, and all activities are centred around Dundee (region UKM71).

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in social care services, particularly those focusing on children and family support. While this specific contract is directed towards Barnardo’s, others may find prospects in offering complimentary or supplementary services, leveraging Dundee’s commitment to enhancing social services. Businesses experienced in the region's social care needs or looking to extend their services into this key sector could benefit from engaging with such publicly funded initiatives. The emphasis on limited and specialist procurement methods signals opportunities for niche service providers or organisations capable of offering innovative solutions in child and family support services.
