Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council has concluded a limited procurement process to award a contract titled "Complex Housing Advocacy," designed to provide specialist housing advocacy support services. Situated in Motherwell, this regional procurement falls under the general public services category and adheres to the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 guidelines for awarding health or social care services. The contract was signed on 27th March 2026, with an awarded value of £50,500. The procurement method bypassed prior publication of a call for competition, as permitted by Scottish legislation, reflecting its completion status.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses with expertise in housing advocacy and related social services, particularly those experienced in handling complex cases requiring specialised advocacy support. Large-scale service providers, like Shelter, were deemed suitable and successfully awarded the contract, indicating a preference for established organisations with the capacity to manage intricate service delivery. The procurement is a chance for relevant businesses to engage with local authorities on essential social service provisions, fostering growth by addressing crucial regional needs. While competitive elements were limited per the procurement guidelines, the focus remains on qualified service provision within the framework of public service obligations.
