Care homes for adults

Flexible Framework No: 2122

About this framework

Framework period: 23 September 2025 to 22 September 2031

Scotland Excel’s care homes for adults flexible framework provides councils with access to appropriate residential care services for adults with identified needs.

It is anticipated that the age group of people accessing care services under this Flexible Framework will be 18 to 64 years and excludes older people who access residential services under the National Care Home Contract.

Providers not awarded to the flexible framework at its launch may apply for admission following the establishment of the Flexible Framework, at any time until six months before the Flexible Framework end date.

As with all our frameworks, this framework was developed in close consultation with key stakeholders. It is fully compliant with all legislative requirements and was developed in line with Scotland Excel’s sustainable procurement approach.
