This report aims to provide an up-to-date picture of the way in which procurement and tendering for care and support is experienced by third sector service providers. In particular, it looks at the extent to which both the Scottish Government/COSLA 2010 guidance on procurement for care and support services1 and the Social Care (Self Directed Support) (Scotland) Act 20132 are influencing procurement policy and practice on the ground. The material contained in the report is drawn principally from a major national survey of providers conducted by CCPS during the summer and autumn of 2013.
