Summary of the contracting process

West Dunbartonshire Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of an adult residential respite service located in Dunn Street, with a view to achieve outcomes defined in individual care and support plans. The council, situated at 16 Church Street, Dumbarton, has awarded the contract to Quarriers. This process falls under the industry category of general public services, focusing on services for individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs. The procurement method employed was a direct award under the Light Touch Procedure, without a prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 17th February 2026, highlighting the commitment to provide essential care services within the UKM81 region.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those adept in providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities and associated complex needs. Organisations with experience in delivering tailored care plans and managing resources for individuals with neurological conditions and mental health challenges would find this contract particularly beneficial. The limited competition procurement method also underscores the potential for niche service providers to establish or expand their presence in the social services sector within West Dunbartonshire. With the contract valued at £645,809, businesses can leverage this opportunity for strategic growth and potentially secure future contracts by building a strong partnership with public authorities.
