This procurement process is part of the services industry and is specific to the South Lanarkshire Council area in Hamilton, UK. The tender period is set to end on 12 August 2019, with bids required to be submitted electronically. The total estimated value of the contract is £225 million, and this innovative arrangement will be in effect for 15 years, allowing additional providers to be included throughout its term. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care services, particularly those that can provide support for vulnerable adults. Companies with experience in delivering services like learning disabilities care, mental health support, and physical disability assistance would be well-positioned to compete. The open nature of the tender allows various service providers to apply, and the continued relevance of the PSA framework ensures that there will be ongoing opportunities for engagement throughout its duration. The procurement also emphasises community benefits, enhancing the potential impact and outreach of participating businesses. ## Notice The Council has an on-going requirement to procure Adult Supported Living Services. The Services will support vulnerable adults to live in their own homes and to play an active part in their communities as much as they are able. The Self-Directed Support (SDS) regulations offer Supported Persons a choice of provider to an extent not available through a Framework or a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) therefore the Council is utilising an innovative Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under the Light Touch Rules contained in Regulations 74 - 76 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice. ### Lot Information Standard Care Lot 1 - Standard Care The Council is procuring Services for vulnerable adults and the term "Lot" could be seen as incompatible with the principles of individualisation and the procurement of social care services.
