## Summary

East Ayrshire Council has completed the award stage for the procurement process titled "Re-opening of Peer Outreach Service Framework - January 2026". This procurement, categorised under general public services, was an open procedure aimed at securing services within specific communities in East Ayrshire. The contract involves a flexible framework agreement for peer outreach services, and new areas are being added to the existing framework, which commenced on 1 February 2024. The contract for these new areas will run until 31 January 2027, with a possible one-year extension. The procurement is focused on Stewarton, Galston/Newmilns, and New Cumnock, and was open for applications via electronic means. Key award details were finalised on 30 April 2026, after the submission deadline on 5 February 2026.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), specialising in public service delivery within local communities. The focus on peer outreach services makes it particularly suitable for organisations experienced in community engagement and support services. With secured additional funding, businesses have the chance to tap into new geographic areas and expand their market presence within East Ayrshire. Existing framework providers also have the opportunity to apply for these new areas, potentially enhancing their service offerings and footprint in the region.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

As per the previously advertised Notice (refer 2023/000-033333), the Framework commenced in 2024 and in accordance with the terms therein, it is now being re-opened for 3 new areas to be included under the same terms as the original application exercise as additional funding has been secured. Note that the initial 3 year term for the Framework commenced on 1 February 2024, therefore the initial term of the contract for the new areas will end on 31 January 2027 for all Service Providers included in the Framework at that time, however a further one year extension to this may be invoked as allowed under the terms of the Framework. Suitably experienced organisations known within the Stewarton, Galston/Newmilns and New Cumnock communities should apply at this time to provide a new service in these areas; existing providers on the Framework may apply for any of these new areas.
