Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by West Lothian Council involves the provision of building-based day care services to older adults at Answer House. Classified under the CPV category for toxic substances monitoring services, the procurement falls within the services industry. Located in the UK, specifically addressed at West Lothian Civic Centre in Livingston, the contract was awarded without a prior tender exercise, making use of a limited procurement method. Approval for this contract was granted by the West Lothian Council Executive on 9th December 2025, and the contract was signed on 25th February 2026. The procurement stage is now complete, with the award being actively held by ANSWER Project Limited.

This tender presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in elderly care services. Those with expertise in providing day care services are well-suited to compete, though opportunities for new entrants are limited given the procurement method employed. Businesses that can offer innovative approaches or expanded services in elder care may find opportunities in collaborations or subcontracting to the primary supplier. The procurement, valued at £178,130, underscores the importance of high-quality care provision in regional social protection efforts, appealing to experienced suppliers in the social sector.
