This procurement focuses on supporting vulnerable adults within the South Lanarkshire geographical area, enabling them to live independently and actively participate within their communities. The PSA, under the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015, allows providers to be added throughout its 15-year term. Notable deadlines include the end of the tender period on 29 August 2025, with the award beginning the same day. The estimated contract value is £225,000,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in adult supported living, including those focused on learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health, and other specialised care categories. It also prioritises quality and innovation in service delivery. Companies within the health and social care sector that meet the specific certification and experience requirements are well-suited to compete. Additionally, the inclusive nature of the PSA allows companies to join and provide services anytime during its term, ensuring continuous opportunities for new and developing enterprises. This tender also incorporates community benefits, encouraging bidders to contribute positively to the local area. ## Notice The Council has an on-going requirement to procure Adult Supported Living Services. The Services will support vulnerable adults to live in their own homes and to play an active part in their communities as much as they are able. The Self-Directed Support (SDS) regulations offer Supported Persons a choice of provider to an extent not available through a Framework or a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) therefore the Council is utilising an innovative Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under the Light Touch Rules contained in Regulations 74 - 76 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice. ### Lot Information Lot 1 - Standard Care Lot 1 - Standard Care The Council is procuring Services for vulnerable adults and the term "Lot" could be seen as incompatible with the principles of individualisation and the procurement of social care services.
