Summary of the contracting process

Inverclyde Council procured supported living placements at Todhill Housing Support Service. This is a social care service, classified under CPV 85310000, intended to provide housing-related support and supported living provision for people using the service. Delivery is in Inverclyde, with the council based in Greenock. The requirement was structured as a single lot and formed part of the council’s wider public service purchasing activity. The service sits within a regulated public-sector context and was conducted under Section 12 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, as amended. Community benefits formed part of the requirement, so the successful provider was expected to contribute social value through delivery of the service as well as meeting the core supported living requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The single lot was awarded to The Richmond Fellowship Scotland Limited, and the resulting contract is active. The contract value is £686,000. The contract was signed on 9 February 2026. Evaluation included social value: Inverclyde Council was to receive a minimum of 20 social value points. One bid was recorded for the lot, submitted electronically; the published bid statistics also record one SME bid and one non-EU foreign bid. The opportunity was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement was conducted under Section 12 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, as amended, and the tender status is complete.

This award is relevant to providers of supported living, housing support and community-based social care services able to operate in Inverclyde. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to manage placements at a substantial council-funded scale, deliver consistent person-centred support, and work effectively within a housing support service. The requirement also shows that social value was a material part of the council’s expectations: providers should be able to identify, commit to and evidence community benefits, including outcomes capable of contributing to a points-based assessment. Experience of public-sector procurement in Scotland, strong service governance and the ability to submit electronically through a restricted procedure would support future competitiveness for this buyer’s comparable supported living requirements.
