Summary of the contracting process

Inverclyde Council procured a Family Hub Support Service, a community and family support service delivered in Inverclyde. The requirement was for services rather than goods or construction, and was arranged as a single lot. The procurement falls within health and social services (CPV 85000000). The council acted as the buyer and central purchasing body. The service is intended to support the council’s Family Hub provision, with community benefits forming part of the requirement. The delivery area is Inverclyde, with the council based in Greenock. This is relevant to organisations providing family support, community-based services or related health and social care provision, particularly those able to work with a local authority and deliver measurable community benefits alongside frontline support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract is active, was signed on 14 April 2026, and has a value of £149,999. No separate award date or contract end date is recorded. One bid was received, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The procurement was conducted under Section 12 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, as amended. Community benefits were required, with 120 points expected under the contract. The available outcome indicates a completed award rather than an opportunity for further bids on this procurement.

This award shows that Inverclyde Council purchases locally delivered Family Hub support through a formal restricted procedure, with a relatively small service provider able to win the requirement. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering family or community support services, the operational capacity to work across Inverclyde, and the governance needed to perform a public-sector contract. The requirement also demonstrates that community benefits are a substantive part of the buyer’s expectations, rather than an incidental consideration: bidders need to design, evidence and deliver benefits that can satisfy a scored requirement. Organisations with established local partnerships, qualified support staff, robust safeguarding and outcome-reporting arrangements would be well placed to build a competitive response when this type of service returns to the market.
