Services are currently delivered in Aberdeenshire Council Community Resource Hubs and Enhanced Provision schools and it is likely that they will continue to be so for the duration of this new commissioned service.
The service will be delivered across the whole of Aberdeenshire. It is likely that the service will be split into lots based on geographical areas but the areas have not yet been finalised (hence why II.1.6 is currently "no")
If you are a provider who would be interested in delivering such services, then please would you complete the attached questionnaire and return to Sarah Ward at sarah.ward2@aberdeenshire.gov.uk by 13th February 2023.
Any procurement exercise will be carried out via Public Contract Scotland-Tender (PCS-T). Any advert will be published on Public Contracts Scotland and the tender documents will be accessible from PCS-T.
