## Summary

Scottish Borders Council, working with its Health and Social Care Partnership, is exploring a buildings-based day service for older adults in the Tweeddale locality. The proposed service falls within health and social care and is intended for older people in that area. The council is seeking expressions of interest from organisations that may be able to provide the service, and has prepared a briefing document and questionnaire for interested parties. This is market engagement to help inform the proposed procurement, rather than an invitation to submit a tender. The work would be delivered in Tweeddale.

The process is at the planning and market-engagement stage: the council has set out its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. Interested organisations are asked to return the questionnaire by 1 December 2026. The council expects to publish a further notice on 1 March 2027. These are engagement and indicative publication dates, not a bid deadline or contract timetable. No procurement procedure, contract value, budget, contract duration, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage. The proposed service is presented as a single lot, covering the Tweeddale older adult day service.

This engagement is relevant to providers of older people’s day services, community care and related health and social care support, particularly organisations able to operate a premises-based service in Tweeddale. It gives potential providers a chance to review the council’s briefing and respond to its questionnaire before the procurement is developed. The buyer’s stated focus is a buildings-based service for older adults in the locality. Organisations with experience designing or delivering day services for older people, and the operational capacity to provide support from a suitable facility, are likely to be well placed to contribute. The engagement may help the council shape its future requirements; suppliers should treat this as preparation and market feedback, not as a competition to bid for now.
