Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council is in the Planning stage of a procurement process aiming to conduct market research for providing a 4 Bed Respite Service in Angus for adults with learning disabilities and complex needs. This engaging opportunity falls under the General public services category and targets service providers within the region UKM71, specifically Forfar. The procurement exercise is not yet a call for competition but aims to gather information to inform future needs. The initiative is planned with its main procurement category being services, with a focus on ensuring facilities are accessible for those with additional physical disabilities. Interested parties are encouraged to complete a market engagement questionnaire by 23 February 2026.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those offering respite care for individuals with specific care needs. Companies experienced in providing accessible and adaptable care environments would find this market research beneficial for networking and potential future bidding processes. As the service entails comprehensive day and night care for supported individuals, businesses adept in 24-hour care operations stand poised to capitalise on future procurement stages when Angus Council moves towards formal tendering.
