Dundee Repertory Theatre

Dundee City Council has completed the award stage of a public procurement process to deliver a clinical Dramatherapy service targeting individuals with complex mental health needs in Dundee. The procurement was conducted as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, falling under the services category. The contract, valued at £56,677, was signed on 1st April 2024 and is active on a one-year rolling contract basis.

The key industry category for this procurement falls under the Social Care sector, with services set to be delivered in the Dundee area (region UKM71). This tender presents a significant business opportunity for enterprises in the fields of mental health and dramatherapy services, particularly those experienced in providing innovative therapeutic approaches. The procurement, specifically designed for regional service provision, could be particularly advantageous for local businesses or those with a substantial understanding of mental health support services.

Given that Dundee Rep & Scottish Dance Theatre Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), was awarded the contract, this suggests potential opportunities for other SMEs to enter similar markets or consider collaborative projects to enhance service delivery and scalability in the public sector.
