## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council has completed a procurement process under the ID NLC-CPT-25-007 for a "Mediation Service" located in North Lanarkshire, categorised under general public services. The procurement stage is complete as of 4th July 2025, with the award granted to the supplier, Children in Scotland. This tender followed a limited procurement method, specifically, an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This was due to the lack of internal council structure to provide the service and the need for continuity without causing disruption to stakeholders. The process aimed to secure independent mediators to assist those with additional support needs.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the mediation services industry, particularly those capable of providing independent and autonomous services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in public service mediation and an understanding of stakeholder engagement would find this opportunity particularly beneficial. The contract, valued at £80,000, represents a favourable growth prospect for businesses positioned to meet these specific service needs while fostering trust and familiar service among stakeholders.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to procure a service that is available which provides access to independent mediators, at no cost to parent/carers, who are 'autonomous from decision making structures in NLC and are independent from those involved in the identification or provision for those with additional support needs.

### Procurement Information

There is currently no council structure to offer this service from within the council. Furthermore, transitioning to a new provider may negatively impact key stakeholders, including children, families, and employees, by causing delays, introducing unfamiliar systems, or reducing service availability. Continuity with the established provider is also likely to maintain stakeholder confidence, trust, and familiarity.
