Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council’s Procured Services Arrangement covers care at home, housing support and related adult social care services for people supported by the Council and South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership. Most work is personal care in the person’s own home; non-personal care and housing support may also be needed where individual assessments identify a need. Services support people to maintain or regain independence, safety, health and wellbeing, including people returning home from hospital and those who might otherwise need hospital or long-term care. The client group includes older people, adults with disabilities or long-term conditions, children and families, and other vulnerable people. Providers work with the organisations involved in each person’s care. Delivery is across South Lanarkshire.

The procurement is complete and KATVIC LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The Council used an open procedure to establish a Procured Services Arrangement under the light-touch rules. The arrangement is designed to allow additional providers to join over its 15-year term, supporting service users’ choice of provider. The service was intended to commence on 1 July 2024; the recorded contract is active and was signed on 8 October 2026. Its recorded contract value is £714.3 million. The evaluation requirements included technical and professional ability, health and safety vetting, registration with the Care Inspectorate, and confirmation of staff status with the Scottish Social Services Council. The selected bidder had to provide specified declarations and certificates, including on human rights, modern slavery, insurance and serious and organised crime.

This award shows demand for providers able to deliver person-centred care at home and housing support across South Lanarkshire, working with the Council and health and social care partners. Credible providers need capacity to support varied and potentially complex needs, including dementia, physical and sensory disabilities, mental health conditions, end-of-life care and long-term illness, while helping people maintain independence and supporting unpaid carers. Relevant credentials include Care Inspectorate registration and staff with confirmed Scottish Social Services Council status. Suppliers also need robust health and safety processes, insurance and the ability to evidence compliance with human rights, modern slavery and serious-crime requirements. The arrangement’s provider-choice model and ability to add providers during its term make it relevant to care businesses prepared to work within a continuing commissioning route. Community-benefit delivery and reporting are also part of the requirement.
