Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has completed a procurement process for an "Outreach Support" service, aimed at addressing homelessness within Hamilton under the industry category of General Public Services. The procurement, identified as SLC/HT/24/160, was granted via a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 163,605.72, was signed on 1st April 2025, with services previously operating from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2025, and includes a 12-month optional extension. This contract specifically involves the Ferniegair property, which offers housing management services 24/7. Wheatley Care, located in Glasgow, was the sole supplier to provide these services, ensuring support for homeless individuals is both immediate and ongoing.

The awarding of this contract to Wheatley Care presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in social care services, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive solutions to prevent homelessness. Companies with expertise in emergency housing management, supportive care services, or those with a strategic aim to expand within the UKM95 region might see collaboration or subcontracting possibilities with Wheatley Care. This framework further prompts competitive businesses to develop unique expertise or geographic capabilities that align with public service needs, thereby preparing them for future tenders from local authorities like South Lanarkshire Council, where distinct, unchallengeable capabilities could be beneficial.
