Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council procured residential care services for a seven-bed care home for adults with learning disabilities in West Lothian. The service covers suitable accommodation, registered residential care, and ongoing care and support for seven vulnerable adults. The requirement is tied to the availability of appropriate Care Inspectorate-registered accommodation in the local area, supporting continuity of care, established support networks and residents remaining within their community. The work is delivered in West Lothian, with the council acting as the buyer. This is a specialist adult social care requirement rather than a general housing, domiciliary care or standard nursing-services contract. The relevant classification is residential nursing care services (CPV 85144100).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Livingston Homereach. West Lothian Council used a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice, on the stated basis that competition was absent for technical reasons and no reasonable alternative or substitute could meet the requirement. The contract was signed on 3 June 2026 and has a value of £3,980,000. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME. The process covered one requirement and the published outcome records Livingston Homereach as the successful supplier. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate award date or contract duration is given in the published outcome.

This procurement indicates demand for a substantial, highly localised adult social care service: a seven-bed residential setting for people with learning disabilities. Suppliers likely to be credible when this requirement next reaches the market will need access to suitable accommodation in West Lothian, registration with the Care Inspectorate, and the operational capability to provide continuous residential care and support for seven vulnerable adults. Experience of maintaining established support networks and enabling people to remain in their local community would be directly relevant. The requirement favours providers able to combine regulated accommodation with dependable care delivery, appropriate staffing and continuity of support, rather than organisations offering accommodation or support in isolation. The single recorded bid also shows the importance of a clearly suitable local provision.
