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.
