### Procurement Information

Regulation 3 (10) of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016 makes provision for the aggregation of public contracts where the value of all contracts for similar supplies and services awarded during the previous 12 months must be aggregated. The aggregated value determines whether the contract is over the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) threshold. The contract value over the previous year is GBP49,999 and the value of the proposed award is GBP300,000 The combined value of GBP349,999 is below the Light Touch Regime threshold (GBP552,950) and therefore, in line with the Scottish Government guidance on the Procurement of Care and Support, the Council can choose not to seek offers for Social Care and Other Related Services contracts on a case by case basis. Whilst the Council's Standing Orders permit the Head of Corporate Services to approve the direct award, they may opt to seek approval from Council Executive. Council Executive approved at the February 2022 meeting a direct award of a contract to Action for Children for the continued provision of one to one outreach support and personal care to vulnerable children for a period of 24 months from 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2024 with an option to extend for a period of up to 12 months, with a total estimated value, including extensions, of GBP300,000
