    Brief

    The Council is recruiting service providers through a flexible Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) framework. This bespoke arrangement is designed primarily for Employability Services but is available to all Council services. The procurement uses the 'light touch' procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, ensuring fair treatment, non-discrimination, and transparency without traditional open procurement formalities. The framework has no limit on the number of providers appointed to each lot and remains open throughout its lifetime, allowing new providers to join at regular intervals. Applications are evaluated in phases based on closing dates, with the framework reopening for new applicants after each phase closes. Interested providers should note that appointment is not guaranteed, and they will be assessed against published evaluation criteria for their respective service area.
