Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the contract titled "SAMH - Scottish Action for Mental Health", focusing on providing a Care at Home, Housing Support, and Outreach Service for individuals with mental health difficulties in Dundee. This procurement, categorised under Social Care, was executed using a limited procurement method, without prior publication of a call for competition. The award has been made to SAMH, a large-scale supplier, and the contract is valued at £810,360. The procurement falls outside the scope of the standard directive, being a specialist service provision ongoing on a rolling basis, as of 1st April 2024.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses operating in the social care services industry, particularly those with expertise in mental health support and outreach services. Despite the lack of open competition in this instance, future opportunities in similar sectors may arise for businesses capable of delivering targeted and specialist care solutions. Companies with a strong track record in local authority contracts and the ability to support ongoing community-based service provision would find opportunities for growth in such tenders. Expanding capabilities in providing tailored care services and forming partnerships with entities like SAMH could offer a strategic advantage in securing similar contracts in the future.
