Summary of the contracting process

Inverclyde Council has successfully completed the contracting process for the provision of a "Project Search - Job Coaching Service" within the locality of Greenock, UKM83. The procurement was conducted through a selective restricted procedure in accordance with Section 12 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (as amended), under the industry category of general public services (CPV code: 85000000). The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with Unity Enterprise, a large-scale supplier based in Glasgow, being awarded the contract on 21st July 2025 for an amount of £180,000 GBP. Inverclyde Council expects 5 Social Value Points to be delivered over the initial contract period, promoting community benefits as outlined on the Government's procurement policies.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for organisations experienced in job coaching services and those looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector. As the procurement followed a restricted procedure, businesses specialising in service delivery and possessing robust credentials in community benefit implementation could leverage this and similar opportunities to secure future contracts with regional or local authorities like Inverclyde Council. Businesses within the general public services industry category, especially those capable of delivering high social value returns, would find such tenders well-suited to their growth strategies.
