## Summary

Aberdeenshire Council has awarded a contract for the 2025 Social Care Framework for Support at Home Services, focusing on delivering health and social work services in Aberdeenshire. The framework, planned to run for three years with a one-year extension, involves multi-supplier agreements aimed at providing accommodation-based support for over 230 vulnerable adults, including those with learning disabilities, mental health problems, and physical disabilities.
