The Joint Improvement Team and Scottish Government's Procurement Directorate are jointly leading the preparation of guidance and good practice materials on social care procurement.
The guidance will be informed by a programme of activity around social care procurement which began in April 2009 and will run into Autumn 2009. The programme is intended to ensure that the final Guidance will have been developed in partnership with Local Authorities, Service Providers, Service Users and Carers and Regulators.
