## Summary

The procurement process involves Aberdeen City Council as the buying organisation, conducting the National Care Home Contract (Annual Variation) for the delivery of general public services within Aberdeen City. This tender falls under the category of services in the public sector and uses a limited award procedure. The procurement has been completed without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the absence of competition as all services are available under the contract. The contract, signed on 6th April 2026, is valued at £46,339,777 GBP and generates large-scale business opportunities within the UKM50 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services to grow by forming partnerships with local authorities. Large operators like Care Concern Group, Renaissance Care Ltd, and Barchester Healthcare are well-suited to compete as suppliers, given their scale and presence. The award criteria, combining quality (90%) and price (10%), provide an opportunity for businesses that can demonstrate superior service quality and competitive pricing in the care home sector. Additionally, SMEs like Aberdeen Association of Social Service can participate, offering community-focused care services that align with regional needs. This procurement process allows established healthcare providers to expand services and collaborate with public sector buyers for continuous business development.
