Procurement of care and support services: best practice guidance summary - updated June 2021
Summary of best practice guidance for public bodies on procurement of care and support services. Originally published in March 2016, it has been updated to reflect changes that have occurred as a result of the UK's exit from the EU and the end of the Transition Period.
Footnotes
1. This guidance uses 'public body' to describe the various organisations which procure care and support services. This includes, for example, local authorities, NHS Boards, housing and criminal justice organisations.
2. For the purposes of the guidance any reference to 'carers' includes unpaid carers.
3. Sections 15 and 18 of the Act are not just relevant to health or social, or care and support, services contracts but apply more generally to public procurements.
