## Summary

Fife Council procured secure care services for children or young people through the Scotland Excel Secure Care framework. The requirement covered call-off services under the framework and included spending with suppliers outside the framework. The procurement is classified as health and social care services (CPV 85000000). Fife Council is the buying organisation, with the requirement associated with Scotland. The completed lot covered the whole secure care requirement and was delivered by Kibble Education & Care Centre and Rossie Young Peoples Trust. This is a council requirement for specialist providers able to deliver secure care rather than a purchase of goods, construction or general consultancy services.

This is a retrospective award for a completed procurement conducted using an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Kibble Education & Care Centre and Rossie Young Peoples Trust. The contract value is £190,325, inclusive of both suppliers and without a supplier-level split. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and has active status. The stated service period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2026. It was a single lot, with no options. Two bids were received, both submitted electronically; one came from an SME. The award reflects the actual call-off value against the Scotland Excel Secure Care framework, including non-framework supplier spend.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Fife Council for specialist secure care provision and shows that the council uses the Scotland Excel framework route while also recording spend with non-framework suppliers. A credible future competitor would need to provide secure care services for the relevant service users, operate at a scale suitable for a council call-off, and understand the requirements of framework-based public-sector purchasing. The two awarded providers show that the market includes specialist organisations, including SMEs. Providers with a demonstrable secure care operating model, the capacity to accept placements, and experience of working with local authorities would be best placed to compete when this requirement is next considered.
