Adult and Children/Young Persons Care and Support Flexible Framework

North Ayrshire Council is in the planning stages of a procurement process titled "Adult and Children/Young Persons Care and Support Flexible Framework," which falls under the industry category of general public services. The procurement process aims to establish a flexible framework for the delivery of outcome-based care and support services to children, young people up to 25 years, and adults with various disabilities and needs across North Ayrshire. The process, initiated as a tender, is currently in the planning stage, with future notices expected around 1 October 2025.

Important deadlines include submitting completed questionnaires by 21 August 2025, ahead of the anticipated contract commencement date of 11 January 2026. This planned project is supported under the Light Touch Regime, with an estimated contract value of £107,972,379 and a contract term of nine years, with reviews and break mechanisms every three years. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in providing personalised care and support to individuals with physical, mental, and sensory disabilities.

Companies capable of delivering innovative, person-centred services that enhance the independence and quality of life for these groups will find this opportunity aligns well with their capabilities. Providers are encouraged to design services that increase community integration and use of local resources, potentially leading to business growth by expanding service offerings and reaching new client demographics within the wide geographical area of all localities in North Ayrshire.
