## Summary

West Dunbartonshire Council has completed the procurement process under the title "Supporting Community Independence - Care at Home Framework for Adults". This procurement is categorised under "General public services" and is based in the regions of Clydebank, Dumbarton, and surrounding areas within the UKM81 postcode. The contracting process has reached the 'Award' stage as of April 6, 2026. The framework spans a projected five years, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, establishing a flexible framework agreement for the provision of care services for adults requiring support at home.

This tender presents growth opportunities for service providers in the healthcare and social care sectors, particularly those experienced in offering personal and housing support services. Ideal participants include both local and large care providers capable of delivering high-quality care around the clock. As new entrants may join the framework over time, smaller businesses and SMEs that are looking to expand into the West Dunbartonshire area or diversify their client base might find this particularly beneficial. The inclusion of multiple suppliers such as Alltogether Care Services Ltd and Balmoral Homecare Ltd suggests a competitive yet flexible marketplace where providers can continually apply to join the framework and potentially collaborate with public health services.
