Care at Home Services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Argyll and Bute Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Care at Home Services" project, which was initiated to establish a Flexible Framework of providers to deliver services primarily for adults with physical disabilities (age 16+) and older individuals (age 65+) across several regions in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. This procurement belongs to the services industry, specifically under social work and related services, and encompasses various locations including Mid Argyll, Kintyre, Oban & Lorn, Helensburgh & Lomond, Cowal, and Bute. After a series of stages from planning to award, key contracts were signed on 2nd September and 8th October 2024.
Managed via an open procedure under the CELEX scheme, the overall contract value was estimated to reach around £48m over its full term, reflecting the significant public service investment made by the Council as per the "light-touch" procurement regime guidance. The project offers substantial opportunities for business growth in the care sector, especially for companies equipped to provide social work and related services. SMEs and large enterprises alike were able to participate, including organisations like Carr Gomm, Carers Direct Limited, and Cera Care Operations (Scotland) Ltd. The initiative not only enables service providers to expand their market presence in Scotland but also delivers community benefits in alignment with statutory guidelines, potentially boosting economic activities in the region.
Companies with expertise in care services for diverse adult needs and the capability to meet independent care inspection standards are optimally positioned to thrive under such frameworks. As the project includes potential contract renewals, this opens further prospects for continued business collaborations and service adaptations to meet evolving community needs.
