The Yard

Dundee City Council has completed the award stage of a procurement process for services in the social care industry category. This contract, titled "The Yard," pertains to SAC Provision, specifically for term time and holiday provision, and is focused on delivery within Dundee, Scotland. The procurement method was limited, owing to the continuation of a previously awarded specialist service contract, which has been monitored and extended on a rolling basis.

The contract was officially signed on 1st April 2024, with a contract value of £143,000. This tender process represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in social care services, particularly those focusing on special activities and holiday provision for children and young adults, to understand the potential market and contracting requirements. Companies with prior experience in similar service provision may find such contracts beneficial for growth, especially when building partnerships with regional authorities like Dundee City Council.

The Yard Adventure Centre, a large-scale supplier based in Edinburgh, has been identified as a successful supplier, showcasing potential business development aligned with social service delivery within local communities.
