Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Dundee City Council, focuses on the contract for the "British Red Cross Society - Care at Home" service, classified under the Social Care industry category, with the main location being Dundee. This contract falls under the limited procurement method, specifically described as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its nature as a specialised service. The process has reached the award stage as of 5th September 2025, with the contract having been signed back on 1st April 2024. The awarded contract, valued at £1,771,553, is actively providing adult care services in Dundee under a block contract arrangement. The buyer, Dundee City Council, has collaborated with the British Red Cross, the supplier and a large organisation, for managing the service delivery.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for organisations experienced in delivering specialised care services, particularly those capable of managing large-scale service contracts. Despite the procurement method being limited, the ongoing nature of such contracts suggests potential future opportunities for businesses that can demonstrate competency in such specialised fields. Companies that specialise in social care services and have a track record of handling block contracts would find this type of procurement process particularly suited to their capabilities, allowing them to expand their footprint within regional or local authority service provisions.
