## Summary

Renfrewshire Council commissioned low-level, preventative health and wellbeing services for older adults in Renfrewshire. The service covers befriending and companionship for older people who are isolated, excluded or at risk of social isolation. It is intended to reduce loneliness, create opportunities to improve quality of life, maintain existing skills and strengthen engagement with local communities through wider social networks. This is a social care and community wellbeing service, classified under CPV 85000000. Delivery is focused on older adults living in Renfrewshire, with the council as the public sector buyer. The requirement is for a flexible range of preventative support rather than clinical treatment, making it relevant to organisations providing community-based companionship, social connection and wellbeing activities for older residents.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Renfrewshire Council used a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 and the council’s contract standing orders for social and other specific services. The stated rationale was that the services could be provided only by a particular economic operator because of an absence of competition for technical reasons. There was one bid, submitted electronically, and the contract was awarded to Roar - Connections for Life Ltd. The contract value is £630,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 27 May 2025. The procurement comprised one completed lot and no options were included.

This award indicates demand from Renfrewshire Council for established, community-based support that helps older adults remain socially connected and engaged. A credible future supplier would need to provide flexible preventative services, including befriending and companionship for people experiencing isolation or exclusion, while creating meaningful opportunities for participation and maintaining existing skills. Relevant strengths would include experience working with older residents, safeguarding and support practices suited to vulnerable people, reliable local delivery and the ability to build sustained relationships across community networks. Providers should also be able to demonstrate practical outcomes around reduced loneliness, improved quality of life and stronger social engagement. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national organisation.
