Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council, acting as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process titled "Mental Health Foundation - WFWF," which falls under the services industry category. The procurement relates to the Whole Family Wellbeing Fund to be delivered in Dundee, with a focus on social care services. This process was carried out using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Key dates include the contract signing on 1st April 2024, with the contract awarded for a two-year period extending to 31st March 2026. The tender has progressed beyond the award stage, with active contracts confirmed for the involved parties.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses operating within the social care sector, especially those providing comprehensive family wellbeing services. While the procurement was restricted and thus not open to broader public competition, businesses capable of meeting stringent criteria and demonstrating proven expertise in social services could find similar opportunities within such contractual frameworks. Larger organisations, such as the contracted Mental Health Foundation, with sufficient resources to undergo rigorous screening and evaluation, are typically well-suited to compete in similar rounds of bidding. Although this contract has been finalised, understanding the procurement pattern offers insight for future potential collaborations or partnerships in similar government-backed initiatives.
