Sense Scotland

The procurement process for the contract titled "Sense Scotland" was initiated by Dundee City Council, a regional or local authority based in Dundee. This contract encompasses services for adults with varying support needs, including learning disabilities and/or autism, in the Social Care category. The procurement, classified under the CPV code 85300000, was conducted using a limited method without prior publication due to the specialist nature of the services provided.

The process is currently in the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 1st April 2024, and is now active. The primary location for delivering these services is Dundee, within the UKM71 region. The contract holds a total value of £3,985,893 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in adult social care services, particularly those with expertise in supporting individuals with learning disabilities or autism. The opportunity is well-suited for established providers capable of delivering specialised services on an ongoing basis, given the rolling nature of the contract. As the procurement was carried out without a call for competition, gaining a foothold may require building strong relationships with authorities like Dundee City Council or exploring future similar opportunities.

Large-scale service providers, such as Sense Scotland, who have already secured the contract, demonstrate the potential scope and impact that businesses in this sector can achieve.
