## Summary

Fife Council seeks to commission specialised support services for a group of individuals with learning disabilities as part of the "Glenrothes Core & Cluster 1" project. This procurement entails delivering care and support at central Glenrothes locations under the health and social work services category. Potential business opportunities arise as Fife Council opens this tender for external providers, transitioning from internal support currently delivered by the council. The procurement process is in the tender stage and utilises an open procedure, with electronic submissions accepted until 20 April 2026, followed by bid openings at Fife House or remotely. The contract is valued at £5,075,000, with a five-year duration and potential extensions of two additional one-year periods.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for experienced care providers proficient in supporting individuals with learning disabilities. Businesses specialising in social work services and having a track record in delivering community-based care would be well-suited to compete for this contract. With Glenrothes designated as the delivery location, businesses based in or near Fife can leverage proximity to enhance service efficiency and responsiveness. The weighted criteria favour quality more heavily than price, reinforcing the requirement for high standards of service delivery. Moreover, the opportunity allows for potential business expansion and long-term engagement, given the contract’s renewal possibilities and recurrent nature.
