## Summary

South Lanarkshire Council has completed the procurement process for its "1st Stop Accommodation" project, which falls under the category of general public services. This service provides accommodation to individuals aged 16 and over at the Ferniegair, Hamilton location, featuring both ensuite and shared facilities. The contract was awarded to Wheatley Care without prior publication of a call for competition due to the absence of alternatives and specific competencies required, as determined by the Council. The contract, valued at £213,415.66, was signed on 17th March 2025, marking the award stage of the procurement process after following a limited procurement method.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses offering specialised accommodation and 24/7 housing management services, particularly those familiar with addressing homelessness. Despite the absence of a competitive bidding process, businesses in the sector can gain insights into the unique service demands and geographic requirements, thus positioning themselves for future opportunities in similar tenders. Companies with the necessary technical capabilities and understanding of social care services in South Lanarkshire would have been well-suited to compete if other providers had been considered.

## Notice

1st Stop Accommodation offers ervices to persons aged 16 years or over (unless accompanied by a parent/guardian) in their Ferniegair, Hamilton property which is comprised of nine ensuite rooms, plus two rooms with shared bathroom facilities and access to shared kitchen and dining room facilities. The Council can make referrals to the project at any time during the day or night and, therefore, the provider must ensure that they can accept residents and provide a housing management service 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, subject to the availability of rooms. All service users will have approached South Lanarkshire Council for homelessness assistance and will be roofless as the time of referral.
