## Summary

Stirling Council has initiated a procurement process under the title "Children with Disabilities Care and Support Framework," focusing on the social work services industry category. This process, designed to support children and young people with severe and enduring disabilities or medical conditions, aims to provide care within the home or through more intensive community services. Located in Stirling, the procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 10th August 2026 at 12:00 PM. The tender utilises 'light-touch' provisions as per Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, allowing Stirling Council the flexibility to add new providers to the framework as deemed necessary. Potential providers are encouraged to participate in provider briefing sessions scheduled on 10th and 15th July 2026, accessible via Microsoft Teams links provided in the tender documentation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in social work and care services. Companies that are well-suited to compete include those with robust experience in providing comprehensive care services, both residential and non-residential, to children with disabilities. Given the requirement for specific insurance covers, such as Employer's Liability and Public Liability Insurance, businesses with established legal and operational frameworks will find this an advantageous opportunity.

The procurement's framework agreement allows for the inclusion of new service providers, offering continued growth opportunities as the needs of Stirling Council evolve.
