Tender description

Flexible Framework Agreement for Supported Living and Personal Care for Adults with Learning Disabilities (1st Reopening) Lot 1: South Ayrshire Council wish to seek submissions from suitably qualified and experienced providers to supplement its existing Flexible Framework Agreement for Supported Living and Personal Care for Adults with Learning Disabilities (CE-163-22) The previously advertised flexible framework which commenced on 15 May 2024 allows for re-opening to new Providers. In accordance with its terms, it is now being opened for New Entrants to be admitted under the same requirements as the original tender exercise and as noted herein. Providers already appointed to the Framework are not required to resubmit to remain on the Framework. The estimated value shown in II.1.5 reflects the value advertised at the establishment of the framework which is an estimate and subject to change. As this service is listed in Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations and the contract value exceeds 663,540 GBP over the contract period, the Council will be using the afforded flexibility of the Light Touch Regime to re-open the framework.

About the buyer

South Ayrshire Council runs council services across Ayr and the surrounding area, and buys as a local authority through its own corporate procurement team.

Suppliers register on the PCS-Tender platform to take part in tendering exercises. Framework agreements route much of this spend, including Scotland Excel, Scottish Government frameworks and the Crown Commercial Service. The council also works with Scottish Procurement and councils across Scotland to share procurement knowledge and resources.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of South Ayrshire Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, education and training and IT services.
