Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council, a regional authority in Livingston, carried out a procurement process for an Electrical Material Framework Call-Off, classified under the electrical materials industry category. The procurement involved the supply of goods such as cables, wiring, and safety detectors, with delivery specifically in the UKM78 region. This process reached the award stage, with Bemco Ltd named as the supplier. The contract, valued at £3,000,000, was signed on 30th October 2025. This procurement followed a 'limited' method, precisely a direct award under Scotland Excel Framework Agreement Lot 1 due to its outside scope of the directive classification. Though initially involving a tender process, the lot status was marked as cancelled.

This tender could offer considerable opportunities for businesses dealing in electrical materials, especially those proficient in providing a broad range of related products. Large enterprises like Bemco Ltd, which have the infrastructure to fulfil such extensive requirements, would find these opportunities particularly lucrative. Businesses capable of providing high-quality electrical goods with competitive pricing would be well-suited to participate in similar future tenders, enabling significant growth in public sector markets. Despite its specific nature, direct award procedures like this allow firms with existing framework agreements to secure contracts effectively without direct competition.
