## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for the "Award of Contract for South West (Canalside) Older People's Day Opportunities," a service aimed at enhancing the quality of life for older individuals by offering various support activities. This contract falls under the category of daycare services within the healthcare industry. Initiated as a limited procurement method without prior publication due to the ongoing implications of the C-19 pandemic, the relevant timeframe included an award date of 11 April 2022. The service will be delivered in the South West Locality of Edinburgh.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those focusing on care and engagement for older adults. Companies that provide daycare services or similar community-oriented solutions would be well-positioned to participate in this market. The streamlined procurement process, which attracted interest from local providers, indicates a demand for innovative service offerings that can meet the diverse needs of older residents in Edinburgh, thereby enabling businesses to contribute to community well-being while potentially achieving growth through increased contracts and collaborations.

## Notice

Day opportunities encompass a wide range of activities for older people that involve supporting people to age well. The aim of day opportunities is to improve people's quality of life by ensuring they remain or become active citizens who are socially engaged.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement had been previously published on PCS as part of Day Opportunities Framework in January 2020. It was anticipated that the incumbent provider would bid however they did not and as such, there was not enough capacity within the South West of Edinburgh. Various PIN's have since been published to establish interest from the market, the latest being in May 2021. Two providers indicated interest and negotiations were undertaken. However, one provider withdrew their interest and negotiations continued with the remaining provider (expedited due to the lack of service within the SW).
