Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the 'Complex Package of Care' is conducted by West Lothian Council, a regional authority based in Livingston, Scotland. The process falls under the services category, specifically "Other community, social and personal services," with the delivery location centred in UKM78. Employing a restricted procedure approach, this tender process involves two stages, with stage one operating on a pass/fail basis via PQQ evaluation before stage two selection. Key dates include a deadline for tender submissions by 23 June 2025, followed by the second stage invitation on 27 June 2025. Though originally active, it was ultimately unsuccessful, as stated in the most recent notice dated 3 December 2025.
