Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council, working with its Health and Social Care Partnership, is considering a buildings-based day service for older adults in the Tweeddale locality. The service falls within health and social care services and is intended for older people needing day support. The proposed setting is a dedicated building rather than a service delivered solely in people’s homes. The procurement is for a service, with Tweeddale identified as its delivery area. The council is seeking input from interested organisations to help inform its plans for this provision.

This is at the planning stage: the council is gauging market interest and has not yet invited tenders. It expects to issue a further notice on 1 March 2027. Interested organisations are asked to complete and return the questionnaire by 1 December 2026; this is a market-engagement response date, not a tender deadline. The planned procurement is presented as one service package for Tweeddale. No procurement method, evaluation criteria, contract duration or estimated contract value is set out in the published process information. The attached briefing and questionnaire are intended to provide further detail and gather responses from potential providers.

This engagement is relevant to providers of older people’s day services, community care organisations and social care charities or businesses with the ability to deliver support from a buildings-based setting in Tweeddale. Organisations with experience designing and operating day provision for older adults may be well placed to offer useful feedback on the proposed model and local service needs. At this stage the council is seeking market input, rather than bids, so providers can help shape the service before a later procurement. The information available does not establish specific accreditation, staffing, premises or capacity requirements; suppliers should use the briefing and questionnaire to assess the proposed service and respond with relevant experience and views.
