## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has recently completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Award of Contract for South West (Canalside) Older People's Day Opportunities." This initiative falls under the services industry category and is located within the South West locality of Edinburgh. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was finalised on 11th April 2022. The council aimed to enhance the quality of life for older residents, ensuring they remain socially engaged and active citizens.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that provide services catering to older populations, particularly those focused on social engagement and community support. Businesses that specialise in elderly care services, activity programming, or social services may find this contract particularly attractive. With the emphasis on improving local day opportunities for older people, companies with relevant experience and a commitment to enhancing community wellbeing could benefit significantly from participation in similar future tenders.

## Notice

Day opportunities encompass a wide range of activities for older people that involve supporting people to age well. The aim of day opportunities is to improve people's quality of life by ensuring they remain or become active citizens who are socially engaged.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement had been previously published on PCS as part of Day Opportunities Framework in January 2020. It was anticipated that the incumbent provider would bid however they did not and as such, there was not enough capacity within the South West of Edinburgh. Various PIN's have since been published to establish interest from the market, the latest being in May 2021. Two providers indicated interest and negotiations were undertaken. However, one provider withdrew their interest and negotiations continued with the remaining provider (expedited due to the lack of service within the SW).

### Procurement Information

This Contract falls within the category of contracts covered by Regulation 74 of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and is being awarded in accordance with the process set out in Regulation 33, in particular Regulation 33 (1) section (b)where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons -- (ii)competition is absent for technical reasons; there is a limited supply market. It is an interim arrangement only.
