Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council has commissioned a carers centre service for adult and young carers living in Renfrewshire. The centre is a hub coordinating and delivering individualised support to help carers sustain their caring role, improve their wellbeing and achieve personal outcomes. Services may include information and advice, adult carer support plans, counselling and mental health support, emergency plans, support groups, carer training, breaks, volunteering, individual support, and development and partnership work. This is a health and social care service, classified under CPV 85000000, delivered in Renfrewshire. The requirement is for a connected service that combines direct support for individual carers with coordination and development work across local partnerships.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Renfrewshire Council awarded the contract to Renfrewshire Carers Centre following a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, citing continuity of support for people already using the service. The procurement was handled under the Scottish negotiated procedure for health and social care services. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The contract was signed on 4 June 2026 and is valued at £163,593.75. The release does not give an award date or contract period, so no duration or end date can be stated. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, and the service description says support is tailored to each carer; no separate scoring criteria are reported.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future carers-centre requirement, the awarded model points to the need to provide a coordinated, locally rooted service for both adult and young carers, rather than a single specialist intervention. Credible delivery would combine carer advice and planning with counselling or mental health support, emergency planning, peer groups, training, respite breaks and individual assistance. The service also calls for capacity in volunteering, partnership development and coordination, with support shaped around carers’ wellbeing and personal outcomes. Experience working with carers and maintaining continuity for an established user group would be relevant to this requirement. A supplier would need a broad enough service offer and local delivery capability to connect these strands while responding to individual needs across Renfrewshire.
