Lot Information

Lot 1

In this instance, a short-term contract (1yr + up to 12 month optional extension) was directly awarded to the incumbent provider to enable the continuation of the existing service, whilst the commissioning strategy and procurement process for the future longer-term contract is agreed/undertaken. This award methodology will mitigate the risk of a gap in delivery of the services, minimising the impact on the service users.

Procurement Information

The direct award approach adopted is in line with the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, which allows Public Sector Organisations to award a contract without seeking offers, considering the principles of procurement where relevant. The CPV codes applied to this notice relate to the provision of health and social care services delivered within a community setting. The light touch procurement regime applies to these CPV codes.
