Summary of the contracting process

The West Lothian Council has awarded a contract for the Independent Advocacy services, which includes two specific lots: one targeting adults with learning disabilities and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder and another for older adults and those with physical disabilities. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total value of £1,282,496. The contracts are active and will run from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2026, with the procurement method classified as an open procedure. The tender process was initiated on 18 November 2021, and these awards are currently in progress, aiming to improve the quality of advocacy services in West Lothian.

This opportunity allows businesses with expertise in health and social care, particularly organisations skilled in advocacy for vulnerable groups, to compete effectively for ongoing work under contact arrangements that emphasise quality service delivery. Suppliers capable of meeting the rigorous qualifications and adhering to the standards set by the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance are particularly well-positioned to succeed. The community benefits included in the procurement further encourage innovative approaches that enhance service delivery while engaging with the local community, thereby fostering potential avenues for business growth.
