Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is planning to procure community-based recovery services across Argyll and Bute. The service is classified as rehabilitation services (CPV 85312500) and sits within the services category. The title indicates a focus on recovery support delivered in community settings, rather than a central or institutional service. The council is the buying organisation and is acting as a central purchasing body. The planned service is grouped into one lot. Suppliers whose work supports people through recovery in local communities should consider this relevant, particularly organisations already operating across Argyll and Bute or able to deliver there. The procurement is intended to support community-based recovery provision for the council’s area.

This process is at the planning stage and is currently market research, not an invitation to tender. The council is asking interested parties to review the recovery-services material and answer its questions by email, so responses will help inform the eventual procurement. The buyer expects a subsequent notice to be published on 17 September 2026; this is an indicative date, not a tender deadline. The planned procurement uses a single lot covering the services across Argyll and Bute. The eventual procedure and evaluation approach have not been settled in this planning record. Businesses considering the work should treat the current engagement as an opportunity to provide market feedback and understand the council’s developing requirements before the procurement reaches competition.

This will suit organisations specialising in community-based recovery or rehabilitation services, including providers with established local delivery networks and experience supporting people in community settings. Relevant suppliers are likely to be able to design and deliver recovery support consistently across Argyll and Bute, work with local communities and partner services, and demonstrate the operational capacity to cover the council’s area. Providers already delivering comparable services should be well placed to explain how their models work, what staffing and partnership arrangements they require, and the outcomes they can support. The market-research exercise gives specialist providers a chance to present their capabilities and help shape a service that is practical to deliver locally.
