Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of an Adults Enabling Service, targeting adults with various support needs, including learning disabilities. This contract, titled "Capability Scotland," falls under the social care industry category and is located in Dundee, UK. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been signed on 1st April 2024 for a value of £1,182,171. The procurement method was conducted without prior publication of a competition call, as it involved a continuation of a previously awarded specialist service provision on a rolling contract basis. Key stakeholders include Dundee City Council as the buyer and Capability Scotland as the chosen supplier.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in adult care services, particularly those experienced in support services tailored to individuals with learning disabilities.
