The previously advertised flexible framework which commenced on 1 April 2022 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. ORIGINAL CONTRACT NOTICE TEXT: The South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership has identified a requirement to establish a Flexible Framework Agreement and contract with suitably experienced and competent Care at Home Service Providers, who hold or can commit to obtain, prior to any appointment, the appropriate Care Inspectorate Registration, to deliver Care at Home Services across South Ayrshire on behalf of South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership. ## Lots (4) ### Lot 1: Ayr and surrounding areas - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 2: Troon and Prestwick and surrounding areas - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 3: Girvan and Maybole and surrounding areas - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 4: Super Lot - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (4) - **Award:** Ayr and surrounding areas (active) - Award id: `011513-2025-1` - Supplier(s): **Independent Lifestyle limited trading as Compcare, Oncall Care Service Ltd, Radian Resourcing (+1 more suppliers)** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-133373`, `GB-FTS-93730`, `GB-FTS-142099`, `GB-FTS-107879` - Value: £37,004,000 † (exc.
