Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council commissioned residential rehabilitation for alcohol and drug dependence, specifically a place for one person at a service in Kilmarnock. The requirement is a care service rather than construction or a supply of goods, and is focused on residential treatment. The procurement relates to the council’s local service needs and was linked to a national flexible framework for residential rehabilitation services. The awarded provider, Townend Care Ltd, is based in Symington. The service delivery location is Kilmarnock; no wider delivery area is described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Townend Care Ltd for the single-lot requirement. The council used an open procedure as a mini-competition under the national flexible framework for residential rehabilitation services. One bid was received, from an SME. The contract is active and was signed on 27 July 2026. Its recorded value is £7,166.64. The requirement is for rehabilitation for one person; the lot is marked complete. No contract start or end dates are stated, so the contract period cannot be described more precisely. The award record does not give a separate award date or identify evaluation criteria beyond the open competition route.

This award demonstrates East Ayrshire Council’s demand for an individual residential rehabilitation placement for alcohol and drug dependence in Kilmarnock, procured through a mini-competition on a national flexible framework. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to provide residential rehabilitation for one person and be positioned to participate through the relevant framework route. The successful provider is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scale of placement can be delivered by an SME. The award does not set out specific clinical accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds, so the evidence here is the service type, single-person capacity and framework-based competition rather than a detailed specification of provider credentials.
