In plain English
South Lanarkshire Council is setting up a long-term list of approved providers (a Procured Service Arrangement) to deliver Adult Supported Living services, helping vulnerable adults live in their own homes and take part in their communities. The arrangement runs for 15 years and stays open for new providers to join throughout that time, split across 2 lots; being accepted onto the list is the entry ticket to potential work, not a guarantee of it.
Good fit for: Care providers experienced in supported living or personal care for vulnerable adults, including smaller local providers given the open, ongoing nature of the list.
- Long 15-year arrangement with work awarded via individual choice by service users, not guaranteed volumes
- Regulated under Light Touch Rules for health and social services, so specific care-sector compliance likely required

What the buyer says
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.
