## Summary

The tender for the "Citizens and Money Advice Services," initiated by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, aims to provide comprehensive advice services across the Western Isles. This procurement falls under community, social, and personal services within the UKM64 region. Currently at the award stage, the contract has an active status with a signed value of £690,000, and key services are to be delivered from fixed premises in Stornoway and surrounding areas. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, based on the lack of suitable market interest during previous tenders.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social and community services, particularly those with a focus on consumer and money advice. Ideal competitors would include local organisations with experience in bilingual support and a strong adherence to the quality standards of Citizens Advice Scotland, as well as smaller enterprises capable of delivering tailored services to meet the needs of the local population. By participating in this tender, businesses can expand their reach within the Western Isles and foster long-term relationships with the local authority.

The provision of comprehensive Citizen and Money Advice for the Western Isles.

### Procurement Information

Previous testing of the market has not resulted in any suitable expressions of interest as the requirement for previous experience in consumer advice and personal money advice services (which would be required as a minimum should we go out to open tender) would not be met. This follows several previous tendering exercises where only the incumbent supplier submitted an offer.
