This is a large award for Health & Social Care — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
The Council has an on-going requirement to procure Adult Supported Living Services.
The Services will support vulnerable adults to live in their own homes and to play an active part in their communities as much as they are able.
The Self-Directed Support (SDS) regulations offer Supported Persons a choice of provider to an extent not available through a Framework or a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) therefore the Council is utilising an innovative Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under the Light Touch Rules contained in Regulations 74 – 76 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
The PSA will allow providers to be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate Supported Person's choice.
