Re-opening of Peer Outreach Service Framework - January 2026

East Ayrshire Council is inviting applications for a re-opening of its Peer Outreach Service Framework, targeting new areas within East Ayrshire Communities for January 2026. This tender, classified as a service contract under the CPV code 75200000 for the provision of community services, is in the active procurement stage. Interested parties must express their interest by 12 noon on 2 February 2026, with submissions due by 5 February 2026.

The re-opening is prompted by additional funding to extend the service to Stewarton, Galston/Newmilns, and New Cumnock areas, while retaining the initial framework duration from 1 February 2024 to 31 January 2027, with a possible one-year extension. The procurement is conducted via Open procedure, leveraging electronic submissions through PCS-Tender. This tender offers significant opportunities for organisations specialising in community outreach and rehabilitation services.

Businesses with a strong presence and operational capability within the specified East Ayrshire locations, such as Stewarton and New Cumnock, can benefit by expanding their service offerings under this council initiative. The framework accommodates current providers and opens possibilities for new entrants, particularly those with a robust record of community service delivery. As experienced community-focused organisations apply, this framework represents a strategic opportunity for businesses to enhance their market presence and contribute to local community development.
