Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council is overseeing a procurement process titled "Community Support Service," which falls under the services industry category and is located in the UKM93 region, covering areas such as the Three Towns, Garnock Valley, and Irvine. The process is at the award stage as of 1st July 2026, with a contract value of £93,481,676. The contract, originally signed on 18th September 2019, has been extended to 5th July 2027, with a potential further extension to 5th December 2027. The services involve delivering adult community support, including mental health, learning, and physical disabilities services. The procurement was conducted as an open tender and is structured with multiple lots targeting specific client groups in specified regions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in community support services to expand their operations within the North Ayrshire area. Large-scale service providers, particularly those with expertise in mental health, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities, are ideally positioned to compete. Entities such as The Richmond Fellowship (Scotland) Ltd, Cornerstone, and others have been awarded contracts, indicating that organisations with robust capabilities in continuous, inclusive care delivery can benefit greatly. Given the provision of services year-round and the multi-lot setup, comprehensive service providers capable of handling multiple facets of community care will find lucrative growth opportunities in participating.
