## Summary

The procurement process titled "CT2973 Edinburgh Day Opportunities for Older People Framework" was initiated by The City of Edinburgh Council, located at Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh. The procurement falls under the category of services, specifically targeting general public services, and is intended to provide day opportunities for older individuals, especially those with dementia, across various regions in Edinburgh (region code UKM75). The procedure utilised a limited procurement method, allowing for awards without a prior call for competition, with an emphasis on quality and a mandatory acceptance of a yearly hourly rate. This procurement was part of a framework agreement, active since 28 March 2025, supporting sustainable service delivery for an 8-year term. The tender process, initiated in October 2024, was designed to improve the quality of life for older people through active citizenship and support for unpaid carers, with proposals due by 29 November 2024.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those registered with the Care Inspectorate and possessing suitable facilities, to expand their service offerings within the community. Businesses involved in the care and support sectors can benefit from participating in this framework that addresses the needs of older people throughout Edinburgh. The specific lots awarded, such as North West Provision or City Wide Provision, allow organisations to tailor their proposals to regional needs, potentially leading to sustainable growth by capitalising on the demand for quality public services. With an emphasis on creating a stable supply market, this tender framework is an ideal avenue for third sector providers to secure long-term contracts, fostering enhanced community engagement and business stability.
