Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: An external company is evaluating the Community Link Worker service in its current form. A separate evaluation exercise is underway including a scoping exercise of the landscape of Social Prescribing models across Inverclyde. This will provide an overview of gaps in the locality and opportunities for bridging of Social Prescribing models. To allow this evaluation to be fully scoped we will make a direct award to the current provider from period 1st April 2025 – 31st March 2026 with the option of a plus one year. This would bring this CLW contract in line with other Social Prescribing contract end dates. It would also allow the evaluation outcomes to be reviewed, identified gaps analysed and proposals formed around a Social Prescribing model that encompasses multiple Social Prescribing Contracts. It would also allow sufficient time to onward scope an innovative Social Prescribing Hub fit for the future and one that best serves our community.

Publisher note: This is the continuation of a contract which was previously tendered. A full review of social prescribing services across Inverclyde is underway. This award will allow this contract to be brought in line with other services and will allow the HSCP time to plan a multi faceted social prescribing service for the area without any break in current service.
