Other Information

Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. For Lots 1 - 6, a nominal value of 1.00 GBP per lot is published, this reflects that we are unable to anticipate the total spend in each lot of the contract. The total contract value for the full term is expected to be around 48m GBP. The term Flexible Framework is used throughout the ITT to describe a bespoke contract that is in line with the Scottish Government’s Guidance on the Procurement of Care and Support Services which complements statutory guidance produced under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (‘the Act’). This includes guidance specifically on the procurement for wider health or social care services referred to as the ‘light-touch’ regime introduced for certain services. (SC Ref:780023)
