Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council procured a specialist health and social care service called Safety and Stabilisation Therapy (CPV 85300000). The service provides safety, stabilisation and therapeutic support, with its primary function being safety and stabilisation services. It is intended to provide scaffolding for carers and support outcomes for care-experienced children and young people. Delivery is for North Lanarkshire Council in the North Lanarkshire area. The requirement is focused on therapeutic and stabilisation support rather than general health provision, so it is most relevant to organisations with experience supporting children and young people affected by care, and working alongside carers and wider support networks.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. North Lanarkshire Council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the Scottish health and social care procurement provisions that allow an award without seeking offers. One bid was recorded, and the contract was awarded to Suzanne Anderson. The contract value is £100,000 including the published currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 23 July 2026. The procurement comprised one lot covering the safety, stabilisation and therapeutic support service. Mandatory checks relating to exclusion grounds were applied. The contract is recorded as active; no contract period or separate award date is published.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist therapeutic safety and stabilisation support for care-experienced children and young people, including practical support for carers. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be able to deliver child-focused therapeutic work, provide structured stabilisation interventions and show how their service improves outcomes for children and young people. Credibility would also depend on the ability to work closely with carers and other professionals, operate safely within a health and social care setting, and satisfy mandatory exclusion checks. The single recorded bid came from an SME, indicating that this type of council requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large organisation.
