Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has completed a procurement process for the "Blackwood Homes and Care - Care at Home" service, a block contract dedicated to providing care at home services for adults in the Dundee region. The procurement process was an award procedure without prior publication, organised under a limited procurement method. The contract, valued at £1,181,035, was signed on 1st April 2024. The industry category is primarily social care services, specifically classified under CPV code 85311300. The contract's status is currently active, supporting regional or local authority functions as per Dundee City Council's requirements.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in home care services, particularly those with expertise in caring for adults. While the contract has been awarded to Blackwood Homes & Care, it highlights the ongoing demand for specialised care service providers in the region. Businesses aiming to expand or establish themselves in the social care industry in Dundee and similar regions might consider preparing for future tenders due to the existing demand and service continuation, evidenced by the contract being on a rolling basis. Firms with robust tendering abilities and a commitment to specialised service provision may find opportunities in subsequent tenders to serve similar regional or local authorities.
