## Summary

Angus Council commissioned care and support services for multiple adults with learning disabilities in Forfar, Angus. The service is intended to support people with learning disabilities and is delivered locally in Forfar. The requirement sits within social care services, specifically residential and social work-related care provision (CPV 85310000). Sense Scotland is the selected provider. The work is a call-off from Scotland Excel’s 2022 Care and Support Framework, rather than a standalone requirement described in detail here. This is relevant to providers with experience delivering person-centred care and ongoing support to adults with learning disabilities in a local community setting, particularly those able to work within a council-commissioned framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Angus Council used an open procedure to call off the Scotland Excel Care and Support Services Framework; the requirement was treated as a single lot. Sense Scotland was awarded the contract. The recorded contract value is £2,757,878. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The requirement concerns care and support for multiple people with learning disabilities in Forfar, Angus. One bid was recorded for the lot, including one bid from an SME. The release does not state an award date or contract start and end dates, so no award date or contract duration can be reported. The award was made through the framework call-off route; no separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis is reported.

For providers of adult social care, this award demonstrates demand from Angus Council for sustained care and support for multiple adults with learning disabilities in Forfar. A credible competitor would need the workforce, service-management capability and operational capacity to support several people locally, and relevant experience delivering care to adults with learning disabilities. The successful supplier, Sense Scotland, is a large organisation, while the recorded bid statistics show that an SME also participated; this indicates that the requirement attracted a bid from a smaller provider as well as a large supplier. Suppliers should be able to operate within Scotland Excel’s Care and Support Framework and deliver a council-commissioned service in a community setting. The contract’s scale indicates that providers need sufficient capacity to manage a substantial multi-person support service, rather than a single isolated care placement.
