This initiative focuses on the social services industry, targeting locations such as Argyll and Bute, Inverclyde, Dundee, North Ayrshire, and Glasgow. The procurement method applied is an open procedure, and the contracts were signed between February 16 and March 22, 2017. The purpose of these contracts is to enhance financial capacity and social inclusion for the most disadvantaged individuals and households in the specified regions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on social services and community support, particularly those experienced in managing funding from organisations like the European Social Fund. Companies capable of providing innovative support services aimed at increasing social inclusion and financial empowerment would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Given the scale of the investments—amounting to several million pounds per contract—there is substantial potential for business growth for qualified service providers in these areas. ## Notice The Big Lottery Fund in Scotland is procuring five contracts to deliver support services to increase the financial capacity and improve the social inclusion of the most disadvantaged individuals and households in Argyll and Bute, Inverclyde, Dundee, North Ayrshire and Glasgow. The investment is being part funded (via the Scottish Government) from the European Social Fund 2014-2020 (ESF) The successful bidders will therefore be required to meet ESF requirements such as audit, eligibility, record keeping, publicity and procurement as part of contract delivery.
