Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council intends to appoint a service provider for a wellbeing service supporting Black Minority Ethnic women recovering from trauma, including domestic abuse. This is a specialist health and social care service, classified under CPV 85000000, to be delivered in Edinburgh. The service is intended for women from Black and minority ethnic communities who need support during recovery from traumatic experiences. The requirement is for one service covering the stated need, rather than separate goods, construction or general administrative support. Organisations considering this work should be able to provide an appropriate wellbeing service in Edinburgh and understand the needs of women affected by trauma and domestic abuse.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Council has announced its intention to tender and is consulting the market before inviting bids. It plans to seek market interest through a Prior Information Notice questionnaire, with responses expected by 12 noon on 20 August 2026. The Council currently expects a subsequent contract notice to be published on 18 September 2026. The procurement is planned as a service contract under the legal framework for public procurement, but the tender procedure, contract value, duration and evaluation criteria have not yet been settled in the information available at this stage. The consultation is intended to help the Council assess the provider market before finalising the tender.

This will suit established specialist organisations operating in the Edinburgh area that support Black and minority ethnic women affected by trauma, including domestic abuse. The Council is looking for providers that are suitably qualified and can demonstrate the relevant expertise, capability and capacity to deliver the service. Potential providers should therefore be able to plan and operate a focused wellbeing service for this community, with an understanding of trauma recovery and the effects of domestic abuse. The market consultation offers providers an opportunity to explain their current service model, experience and ability to deliver locally, helping them prepare for the later tender rather than bid for work at this stage.
