Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council procured housing support services for East Dunbartonshire. The work is a public service focused on providing housing-related support to people in the council area. The requirement covers one lot and is managed by the council, which also acts as a central purchasing body. The service may involve the transfer of staff under TUPE arrangements, so providers should be prepared to address continuity of employment and associated obligations. This opportunity is relevant to organisations delivering supported housing, tenancy sustainment, homelessness, housing advice or related social support services, particularly those able to operate locally and work with a council-led service model.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Blue Triangle was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 13 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £412,235. The service is contracted for three years, with options to extend by a further 12 months and then another 12 months. Bids were due by 29 April 2026 at 1pm, with tenders opened at the same time at East Dunbartonshire Council’s head office in Kirkintilloch. Evaluation gave 60% of the score to technical quality and 40% to price. Three electronic bids were received, including one from an SME. Variants were not permitted.

This award demonstrates established demand from East Dunbartonshire Council for a specialist housing support provider. A credible future competitor would need relevant experience, knowledge, skills, capacity and capability in delivering similar services for similar clients, with evidence strong enough to pass the council’s technical assessment. The provider would need to be registered with the appropriate professional or trade register, such as Companies House, and able to meet the council’s financial and insurance requirements. These include a general yearly turnover of at least £160,000, professional indemnity insurance of £5 million, employers’ liability insurance of £10 million and public liability insurance of £5 million. Staff names and qualifications would also need to be provided, with TUPE capability relevant.
