## Summary

The South Lanarkshire Council has awarded a contract for the Adult Supported Living Services through an innovative Procured Service Arrangement under the Light Touch Rules.

The contracting process is part of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and offers opportunities for businesses in the services sector.

The contracting process allows for the inclusion of providers over a 15-year term, enabling service providers to cater to the diverse needs of supported individuals. Businesses offering services for people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health problems, and other specific needs are well-suited to compete in this tender. The contract values are significant, creating a favourable environment for business expansion and development in the social care industry.

## Notice

The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice.
