Summary of the contracting process

The Argyll and Bute Council is currently conducting a tender for the "Carers Support Services", aimed at providing a variety of support services for carers in accordance with the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016. This open procurement process is taking place in Scotland, specifically in areas including Mid Argyll, Kintyre, Islay, Oban, Lorn, Cowal, Bute, and Helensburgh & Lomond. The tender is active with submissions due by 1st April 2019.

The contract period is proposed for up to three years, ensuring continuity of service delivery while adapting to the new legislative requirements. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in care services, particularly those with expertise in community support and social care. Businesses that can demonstrate compliance with the required standards, such as financial sustainability and insurance coverage, and hold relevant registrations will be well-positioned to compete.

A focus on providing high-quality services and community benefits will be critical, as these factors are key to the award criteria. Engaging in this tender could facilitate growth and establish long-term partnerships with the council, contributing to the ongoing support of carers within the community.
