Adult Supported Living - Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) Phase 10

Lot 1 - Standard Care The Council is procuring Services for vulnerable adults and the term "Lot" could be seen as incompatible with the principles of individualisation and the procurement of social care services. The process however is a formal procurement procedure carried out within The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 where Section 5. Conduct of the Procedure Regulation 47 details the arrangements for the division of contracts into lots. The use of this term for this procurement process is therefore unavoidable. Lot 1 - Standard care has 9 sub categories as below: Lot 1(a) - People with learning disabilities Lot 1(b) - People with physical disabilities Lot 1(c) - People with mental health problems Lot 1(d) - People with acquired or traumatic brain injury Lot 1(e) - People who are hearing impaired Lot 1(f) - People who are visually impaired Lot 1(g) - People with autism Lot 1(h) - People with substance misuse/addiction problems Lot 1(i) - People who are in receipt of palliative/end of life care. Contracts awarded under Lot 1 will be awarded in accordance with the arrangements detailed in Attachment 5 Call on Procedure. Bidders should note that the Council are not giving or implying any guarantee in respect of the value or volume of any services to be awarded under this Procured Service Arrangement.

Lot 2 - Enhanced Care The Council is procuring services for vulnerable adults who have been assessed by the Council as requiring enhanced care. Contracts awarded under Lot 2 will be awarded in accordance with the arrangements detailed in Attachment 5 Call on Procedure. No Prices are being sought for Lot 2 at this time.
