Summary of the contracting process

The West Lothian Council initiated the WLC Trades Contractors Framework to bolster its Property & Building Services departments through a structured procurement process. This framework is categorized under the building construction industry, identified by the CPV code 45210000, and falls primarily within the works procurement category. Located in the UKM78 region, the framework includes 14 individual trade lots and one multi-trade lot, with each lot allowing submissions from bidders. The open procedure was employed, and as of May 2026, the procurement stage has been completed with contracts awarded on 10th April 2026. Suppliers were selected based on both technical and commercial evaluations, with a specified number of maximum participants for each lot.

The WLC Trades Contractors Framework presents significant opportunities for various businesses, particularly those within the building construction and related trades. Companies providing services such as bricklaying, minor civil works, electrical installations, glazing, joinery, painting, and plumbing, among others, are well-suited to compete in this capacity. Such businesses can leverage participation in the framework to expand their portfolios, secure steady project pipelines, and establish strong working relationships with the West Lothian Council. Moreover, with the potential for a four-year framework term, it allows suppliers to gain a long-term foothold in local government contracting, thus facilitating business growth through reliable and continuous work opportunities.
