## Summary

Renfrewshire Council has completed the procurement process for an active contract titled "Advice Services" within the services industry category, specifically focusing on guidance and counselling services. The procurement method was a limited procedure without prior publication, with the contract value set at £505,500. This contract was signed on 29th September 2021 and pertains to services delivered in the Renfrewshire Council area located in the UKM83 region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the social services and counselling sector, to enhance their service offerings and expand their market presence. Given that the procurement method allowed only limited competition, smaller enterprises, especially local organisations like the Citizens Advice Bureau Renfrewshire, may find it advantageous to engage in similar future tenders to effectively provide community-focused services, thus driving business growth while contributing to local welfare.
