## Summary

Fife Council commissioned a care and support service for three people returning to the community after hospital discharge. The service is based at Robertson Road, an established group living service in Dunfermline, and is intended to provide suitable accommodation and continuity of care planning and transition for people on Fife’s Dynamic Support Register. The work is health and social care, specifically social work and related support services. Delivery is in Dunfermline, Fife.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Real Life Options. The award was made through a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, on the stated basis that the requirement fell outside the scope of the applicable directive. Fife Council cited urgency in arranging suitable accommodation for three people leaving hospital, and the established Robertson Road service’s suitability and continuity of support. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and has an awarded value of £7,216,470. The contract is active. Fife Council may make additional purchases under the contract in accordance with the applicable Scottish public procurement regulations.

For providers preparing for a future requirement from Fife Council, this award indicates demand for established group living provision in Dunfermline that can support people moving from hospital into the community. A credible provider would need suitable accommodation and the capacity to deliver care and support to three individuals, while maintaining continuity in care planning and transition. Experience serving people with complex or higher-support needs would be relevant to meeting the circumstances described, including people on the Dynamic Support Register. The council selected an existing local service to respond to an urgent discharge requirement, so providers should be able to demonstrate that their accommodation and support model can meet individual needs and coordinate a safe transition from hospital to community living.
