## Summary

The contracting process facilitated by Scottish Borders Council pertains to the provision of "Secure Care" under the Scotland Excel National Framework. This award notice reflects the cumulative financial commitment for Secure Care services spanning the fiscal period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. The procurement stage is currently in the "Award" phase, indicating that the contract has been successfully bestowed upon Good Shepherd Centre, with a significant contract value of £613,583 GBP. Located within Newtown St Boswells, Scottish Borders Council pursued an "open" procurement method categorised under general public services. The procurement aligns with regional delivery within UKM91, fostering services in the secure care industry category.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the secure care services sector, particularly those that can deliver quality services within public frameworks. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), like Good Shepherd Centre, can benefit from engaging in collaborative frameworks, particularly where call-off mechanisms are used to solidify business relationships and ensure ongoing service provision. Enterprises specialising in secure care, or similar public services, stand to gain from the structured and predictable demand inherent in such framework agreements, thus supporting sustainable growth initiatives. Adopting this framework presents prospects for innovative solutions and partnerships within local authorities, nurturing broader business development.
