Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Hillcrest Futures Limited - Support Services for Adults" was conducted by Dundee City Council, a regional local authority responsible for central purchasing in the UK. This contract, focusing on social care services, is situated in Dundee and encompasses support for adults with diverse needs, including learning and physical disabilities, as well as mental health challenges. It reached the award stage, confirmed on 1st April 2024, through a limited procurement method, which excluded prior publication due to its specialised nature. The procurement falls outside the scope of standard directives, with a substantial contract value of £5,885,883. The industry category for this project is social care, identified by CPV code 85300000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in adult support services, particularly those experienced in providing care at home, housing support, and student support for individuals with disabilities. While the process utilised a limited tendering approach, businesses with niche expertise in specialised service provision, akin to Hillcrest—a large-scale supplier—are well-suited to engage in similar future contracts. The continued demand for specialised adult support services within Dundee highlights growth opportunities for enterprises capable of offering innovative solutions that meet comprehensive care needs. This tender also stresses the importance of established relationships with local authorities for ongoing contract renewals or extensions.
