Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has successfully concluded a procurement process for the "Telecare Smart Hubs," aimed at replacing hub units to facilitate the transition from analogue to digital telecommunication. This project falls under the goods category and is part of broader technological advancements in the public service sector. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the contract value set at £842,000. The contract was signed on 28 October 2021, and the initiative primarily serves the Livingston area and wider Scotland, necessitating the digital upgrade of telecare equipment due to the impending 2025 deadline for switching to digital phone lines.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on digital technologies, especially those specialising in telecommunication services, electronic healthcare solutions, or similar sectors. Companies equipped to offer innovative telecare solutions and smart technology products will find themselves well-positioned to participate in future tenders, particularly those that support transitions to digital infrastructures. With only one bid received, there is potential for increased competition in forthcoming projects, making it an advantageous time for SMEs and larger firms in the technology-enabled care market to engage with local authorities like West Lothian Council.
