Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has recently completed the procurement process for the "Negotiated Contract for Adult Supported Living," focusing on the provision of services within the "General public services" and "Education" categories in the South Lanarkshire region, particularly UKM95. The award stage, dated 26th January 2026, concluded with the contract signed on 17th March 2025.

Lot Information

Lot 1

ELSS have been providing Supported Living services to the Supported Person since 2018 in their home. The care package has been 266 hours per week for 24/7 support with all aspects of daily living, including assistance of 2:1 at set times for personal care and a waking sleepover each night. ELSS are not currently appointed to the Adult Supported Living PSA, therefore a negotiated contract is required to ensure continuity of service to allow sufficient time for them to apply and be appointed to the PSA.

Procurement Information

The services can be supplied by only one suitable contractor because competition is absent for technical reasons and no alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. Standing Order 10.4a (v); where the service user wishes in terms of the National Strategy on Self Directed Support to arrange services with a particular provider but wishes the Council to arrange this on his behalf.
