Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured residential rehabilitation for one person at Auchincruive, near Ayr. The service is for people needing treatment and support for alcohol and drug dependence, delivered in a residential setting. The requirement is a specialist care service rather than general accommodation or a wider community-based support contract. The named provider is Independence From Drugs and Alcohol Scotland, based in Ayr. This purchase was made under a national flexible framework for residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation services, so the requirement formed part of an established framework arrangement rather than a standalone procurement. The delivery location is Ayr.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. East Ayrshire Council used an open mini-competition under the national flexible framework for residential rehabilitation. The requirement was a single lot for rehabilitation for one person. One bid was recorded, including one bid from an SME. Independence From Drugs and Alcohol Scotland was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026, with a value of £11,568. The contract period is not stated in the available process details. The procurement record does not give separate award criteria or a stated evaluation weighting, so the recorded outcome identifies the successful supplier but not the basis used to compare offers.

This award shows demand from East Ayrshire Council for an individual place in specialist residential rehabilitation for alcohol and drug dependence, sourced through a national flexible framework and competed through a mini-competition. Suppliers well placed for a comparable future requirement would need to deliver residential treatment and support for one person, with provision in or suitable for the Ayr area. The selected provider demonstrates that a specialist rehabilitation organisation can meet this buyer’s requirement. The single recorded bid indicates limited competition in this particular competition, but does not establish why. Providers with relevant residential care operations and the ability to respond to framework mini-competitions would be commercially aligned with this specific requirement when it next arises.
