Summary, notice description and lot information
Fife Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the Cupar Core and Cluster (Tailabout) Service, aimed at providing care and support for individuals with severe and enduring mental illnesses in Cupar, Fife. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with the main procurement category being services under the CPV classification 85300000. This contract was awarded to The Richmond Fellowship Scotland Limited, a large-scale supplier, and is valued at GBP 684,730.
The contract was signed on 10th June 2025, subsequent to a transition period, and covers a comprehensive service initially aiding individuals to transition from Stratheden Hospital to community-based living. The procurement stage has moved from tender to contract award. The procurement process offers potential for further purchases under full compliance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015, introducing flexibility for the buyer to meet evolving service needs.
With the contract awarded, businesses specialising in mental health care services, particularly those capable of providing community-based support and rehabilitation, stand to benefit from potential growth opportunities. Large-scale organisations similar to The Richmond Fellowship Scotland Limited might find this sector particularly advantageous, given the opportunities for contract extensions and additional service demands. The location in Cupar, Fife, presents an opportunity for local businesses to leverage regional knowledge and provide tailored support services.
Additionally, the alignment with government priorities in improving social protection services adds value and credibility to service offerings, encouraging enterprises within the social care sector to engage in future tenders and collaborations.
This requirement is for the provision of care and support of a group of 12 individuals (this includes one vacancy which is in the process of being filled) with a severe and enduring mental illness/disorders that often disrupts major areas of their life, including relationships, employment, housing, and self-care, leading to a need for specialised support services. This service initially allowed the individuals to be moved from inpatients in Stratheden Hospital into their own homes in the community and now is a supported living service to promote and sustain mental health rehabilitation.
