Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has successfully completed a tender process for the "Day Care Provision and Transport for Adults at An Carina". This contract, valued at £557,820, is centred on providing day care services and transportation for 12 adults with assessed learning disabilities at the An Carina Day Care Centre located in Livingston, UK. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, conducted without prior public announcement due to technical reasons, as approved by the council's Executive in May 2021. The contract is active, with its provision running from 1st October 2021 to 31st March 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care and transportation services, particularly those that specialise in support for individuals with learning disabilities. Providers with experience in delivering high-quality care and transportation solutions would find this contract particularly relevant. The successful bidder, Real Life Options, exemplifies a qualified entity in this space, suggesting that similar organisations focused on delivering comprehensive care services may be well-positioned to compete in future contracts of a similar nature.

    "description": "Council Executive Procurement Approval Report is provided below : Real Life Options are contracted to provide day care provision at An Carina Day Centre and provide a high standard of supported day time opportunities, personal care and transport to 12 adults with an assessed learning disability, all of whom have critical or substantial needs. The review of internal and external day care provision has been delayed until 2022/23 due to the impact of COVID 19. Pending the conclusion of the review it is, important to maintain the current provision to ensure stability of the available provision as well as continuity of care for both existing and potential clients to enable the review to take place and inform the strategic direction, commissioning and procurement decisions, for both internal and external day care provision in the future. The contract value over the previous year is GBP550,000 and the value of the proposed award is GBP557,820. The aggregated value of GBP1,107,820 is above the Light Touch Regime threshold (GBP663,540). Regulation 33 (1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 allows a contracting authority to make a direct award of a public contract following a negotiated procedure without prior publication where competition is absent for technical reasons. Whilst the Council's Standing Orders permit the Head of Corporate Services to approve the direct award, they may opt to seek approval from Council Executive. Council Executive is, therefore, requested to approve a direct award to Real Life Options for Day Care Provision for a period of 18 months from 01/10/2021 to 31/03/2023, with an estimated value of GBP557,820. The costs of the service will be met from existing Service budget. (SC Ref:680507)",
