Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Advice Infrastructure FORT - WFWF," associated with the Whole Family Wellbeing Fund. Categorised as a service procurement in the social care sector, this contract specifically focuses on children's and families' services. The procurement utilised a limited award procedure, selected because it fell outside the usual directive's scope. This was done without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process, beginning with bid submission, included an evaluation by a steering group and culminated in awarding a contract, which was signed on 1st April 2024. The contract remains active until 31st March 2025, with a potential extension. The buyer, Dundee City Council, is responsible for the tender located in Dundee, and operates within the UKM71 (United Kingdom) region.

The "Advice Infrastructure FORT - WFWF" project presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs in the social care services industry. The contract, valued at £54,000, provides a substantial investment return for the successful bidder, Advice Infrastructure, a Glasgow-based SME. Businesses specialising in social care and family wellbeing services could find similar opportunities in this procurement category, particularly if they can demonstrate expertise in delivering outcomes that align with local council objectives. The non-competitive selection allows for a more focused approach to service delivery, fostering collaborations that enhance community welfare. Such opportunities are tailored for enterprises seeking long-term partnerships in public sector contracts within the region.
