## Summary

The tender titled "Bairn's Hoose Services" was initiated by West Dunbartonshire Council as part of the Scottish Government's initiative to implement a trauma-informed service model for children who are victims or witnesses of abuse. This service, rooted in the Barnahus approach from Iceland, is classified under the "Social work and related services" category, focusing on creating safe and centralised services in Dumbarton (UKM81). The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with "Includem" being awarded the contract valued at £112,350, effective from 1st April 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for organisations within the social services sector to engage in community-focused projects aimed at supporting vulnerable children. It is particularly suited for businesses experienced in delivering trauma-informed care and that have existing frameworks for collaboration with local authorities. As funding is allocated to develop services at a local level, the procurement method employed was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, which underscores the need for specialised knowledge and established partnerships with local councils.
