OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a Personalised Food Shopping Service, awarded to The Food Train. This contract falls under the services category and is estimated at £467,008, covering a duration from 1st February 2022 to 31st January 2027. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, specifically a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, justified under the relevant procurement regulations. The contract aimed to support vulnerable individuals in the Livingston area, particularly those aged 65 and above or aged 50 and over with complex health needs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in social care and community services, as well as logistics and grocery delivery. Companies that align with the values of supporting vulnerable populations and enhancing community wellbeing would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. With an emphasis on local procurement, businesses that offer innovative solutions in personal assistance and tailored service delivery may find expansive avenues for collaboration and service development in this sector.
