## Summary

Fife Council commissioned a care and support service for three people being discharged from hospital into community accommodation. The service is based at Robertson Road in Dunfermline, Fife, and is intended to meet the individuals’ support needs while maintaining continuity through their planning and transition. The council identified the established group living service as suitable accommodation. This is a social care service, rather than a general care procurement: the requirement centres on supporting three named service users in a particular setting and transition from hospital to the community.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Real Life Options. Fife Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, citing an urgent need to move three people on its Dynamic Support Register from hospital into suitable accommodation and maintain continuity of care. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and is active, with a recorded value of £7,216,470. The published procurement describes one lot covering care and support for the three people. The council may require additional purchases under the contract, subject to the stated regulatory requirements. No evaluation criteria or contract-period dates are set out in the available process details.

For providers of specialist community-based social care, this award shows Fife Council’s demand for a tailored group-living service supporting people moving from hospital back into the community. A credible competitor would need suitable accommodation in or near Dunfermline, the ability to support a small number of individuals with specific care needs, and capacity to coordinate planning and transitions with hospital and council services. Continuity matters: the council selected an established service already operating at Robertson Road, so providers should be able to demonstrate a stable setting and dependable support arrangements, not just general care capacity. The award also shows that the council may use a limited, urgent route where a suitable established service meets an immediate discharge need.
