The contract, focused on providing a Housing Support Service for Adults in Dundee, is aligned with the local authority's needs and is categorised under the CPV code 85300000. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract being signed on 1st April 2024.

The procurement process employed was a limited procedure, specifically awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, as it involved ongoing specialist service provision. The contract's total value is £51,678, and it has been awarded to Blackwood Homes & Care, based in Edinburgh, serving as the supplier. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in housing support services, particularly those capable of providing tailored tenancy support for adults.

Businesses in the social care sector can leverage such contracts to expand their operations within the Dundee region. Although the current contracting method involved direct award due to specialised service provision, companies that demonstrate the capacity for high-quality, niche services in social care may position themselves for future opportunities, especially with central purchasing bodies like Dundee City Council. Medium to large-scale enterprises with a focus on the Scottish market might find this sector particularly lucrative.
