## Summary

Dundee City Council has successfully completed the award stage of its procurement process for the Dundee Independent Advocacy Support (DIAS), located in Dundee, classified under the social care sector. The contract, with a procurement ID of HSCP/2425/27, was signed on 1st April 2024, and valued at £335,184. The award method was limited, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition due to a previously awarded contract for specialist service provision. This citizen and professional advocacy service caters to adults living in Dundee, providing both paid and volunteer assistance.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the advocacy, social services, and care sectors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, which are encouraged to engage with similar projects. DIAS, as the awarded supplier, exemplifies how local SMEs can leverage their expertise in delivering specialist services to secure public sector contracts. Companies involved in advocacy services, especially those offering unique or specialised service provision, could benefit from similar future opportunities within Dundee or broader UK regions.
