The contract location is in the UKM93 region, specifically Irvine, and involves various suppliers, including Affinity Trust, Cornerstone, and others. The procurement stage is at the contract modification phase to ensure the continuity of service until 5th July 2026, due to unforeseen circumstances during the mobilisation of a new contract. The contract modification adds a value of up to £9,361,826 from its original sum of £93,481,676, with the latest update being on 19th September 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the community support sector capable of delivering high-quality services to North Ayrshire. With a sizable contract value and the need for established providers, large-scale businesses already operating within similar CPV classifications can benefit from participating in this process. SMEs like Delight Supported Living Ltd also have opportunities for involvement, particularly during the specified mobilisation period. Companies with expertise in community support services, especially those familiar with continuity and adaptability in service provision, will find this contract a promising avenue for business expansion and partnership with public authorities.
