Cupar Core and Cluster (Tailabout) Service

Fife Council has recently completed the procurement process for the Cupar Core and Cluster (Tailabout) Service, focusing on delivering healthcare and social work services in Cupar, Fife. The contract, active from 10th June 2025, was awarded under an open procedure with The Richmond Fellowship Scotland Limited serving as the supplier. The awarding organisation, Fife Council, is a regional authority committed to supporting individuals with severe mental illnesses by promoting sustained mental health rehabilitation in a community setting.

The initial procurement planning began with a PIN notice detailing the complex care similar requirements, with subsequent tendering and awarding phases completed in 2025. This procurement process represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the social care sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised care and supported living services. Operating in a region beneficial for leveraging local employment and service delivery, businesses that can manage complex care needs will find growth potential in future similar tenders, especially considering the recurring demands and potential contract renewals linked to such community-oriented services.

With a procurement value exceeding £680,000, this provides a viable revenue stream for suitably equipped and experienced providers, ready to contribute to the continued care and rehabilitation needs identified by the Fife Council.
