Description
South Lanarkshire Council is seeking to appoint Service Providers to a Procured Services Arrangement (PSA) for the provision of Care at
Home and Housing Support Services commencing on 1st July 2024.
The contract will be delivered to Supported Persons residing within South Lanarkshire and who are supported by the Council and South
Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership (SLHSCP).
SLHSCP deliver adult social care services and all community health services for adults and children in the South Lanarkshire area. The
services will support individuals 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 Services Arrangement (PSA) under the
Light Touch Rules contained in Regulation 74 - 76 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The PSA will allow providers to
be added over its 15 year term, this will facilitate the Supported Person's choice.
