## Summary

Renfrewshire Council has completed a tender process for "Advice Services," intended to deliver proactive support to residents in the Renfrewshire area. The procurement was conducted under a limited method without prior publication, falling within the Health, Social and Related Services category. The contract, valued at £505,500, was signed on 29 September 2021. This process is now closed, with all activities having taken place in locations throughout Renfrewshire, UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for local businesses, particularly those specialising in health and social care services, to expand their operations. Given that the Citizens Advice Bureau Renfrewshire was awarded the contract, similar organisations, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focused on community-oriented advice, social services, or counselling, could find future procurement processes beneficial for business growth. Engaging effectively in upcoming opportunities could facilitate broader service delivery within the region.
