The contract focuses on establishing support networks within the regions of Denny/Banknock, Falkirk Central, and Grangemouth. This award procedure, concluded through a limited procurement method without prior publication, was finalised on 5 December 2024.
The procurement stage is complete, with a total contract value of GBP 272,776. The awarded tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community support services, particularly those focusing on vulnerable populations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as the awarded supplier Neighbourhood Networks, are well-suited to compete for similar contracts due to their ability to provide localised and intimate community services.
This contract underscores the need for skilled community living workers and organisations adept in fostering independent living and community engagement. Businesses capable of providing social care services that enhance community links and support networks stand to benefit greatly from engaging in such public procurement opportunities.
Falkirk HSCP intends to fund 3 networks in the Denny/Banknock, Falkirk Central and Grangemouth area. The Council defines a Local Support Networks service as: A model of support that is based on a group of vulnerable individuals who live close to each other joining a support network that is led by a skilled Community Living Worker, who lives within the same community as the network members. Members of the network are encouraged to provide support to one another that is of mutual benefit leading to greater independence, stronger links and engagement within their local community.. The Procurement Reform Scotland Act 2014 applies to contracts for services with a value above 50,000 GBP and below the Procurement Thresholds for Goods and Services. Regulation 12(1) of the Act permits the award of a contract for a health or social care service without seeking offers in relation to the proposed contract.
