## Summary

Scottish Borders Council, working with the Health and Social Care Partnership, is exploring a buildings-based day service for older adults in the Tweeddale locality. The service is intended for older people in the area and would involve providing day-service support from a building. This is a health and social care service, rather than a supply of goods or a construction project. The proposed delivery area is Tweeddale, in the Scottish Borders.

The process is at the planning and market-engagement stage: the council is testing interest and has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish a further notice on 1 March 2027. The engagement questionnaire is to be returned by 1 December 2026; this is a request for market feedback, not a bid deadline. The proposed service is presented as one lot. No procurement procedure, evaluation criteria, contract duration or estimated value is stated at this stage. The council asks interested organisations to complete the questionnaire and return it to its contracts team, with further service detail in the accompanying briefing.

This engagement is relevant to providers of older people’s day services, particularly organisations able to operate a building-based service in Tweeddale and contribute to local health and social care provision. Providers with experience supporting older adults and delivering community-based day services are well placed to assess whether the proposed model fits their expertise and capacity. The council is seeking expressions of interest and questionnaire responses to inform its plans, so this is a chance for potential providers to help shape the service before the later procurement stage. The information available does not identify specific accreditations, staffing requirements or service capabilities; suppliers should use the briefing and questionnaire to understand the proposed model and provide relevant feedback. The process is not yet an invitation to compete for a contract.
