## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking to contract with Northcare (Scotland) Ltd to provide up to 32 additional care home places in response to Covid-19 measures. This procurement process, categorised under services, is currently at the award stage, with the contract signed on 3rd April 2020, following a limited tender method. The procurement is significant given its urgency and the rationale is based on the extreme need for additional care home capacity due to unforeseen circumstances, indicating a pressing requirement for these services in the Edinburgh area.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the healthcare and social care sector, particularly those who specialise in providing care home services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well positioned to compete, especially if they can demonstrate capability in managing urgent care placements and compliance with strict safety measures. With the contract valued at over £3 million, this procurement could enhance the service provision landscape in Edinburgh, enabling qualified businesses to expand their reach and capabilities in a critical area of public service.
