## Summary

Stirling Council has completed the procurement process for the "Fieldwork Intensive Support Service" in the General public services category. This service focuses on aiding vulnerable children and young people in Stirling, addressing behavioural challenges, harmful sexual behaviour, youth justice, substance use, and intensive support provision for those on the edge of care. The procurement process, identified under the ID SC2425-0013, concluded with the award on 23 December 2024, with a total contract value of £500,000. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication, justified by the need to address service gaps that could not be met internally and the necessity for continuity of care for the young people involved.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in social work and support services for vulnerable youth. SMEs, in particular, can benefit from such contracts as they can offer tailored and agile services that meet the stringent requirements of public service tenders. Businesses well-suited to compete include those with experience in youth behavioural management, substance abuse counselling, and intensive care support. The awarded supplier, Includem, highlights the potential for smaller, specialised firms to secure valuable contracts that foster growth and stability within the public procurement landscape.
