Notice Title

Supporting People with Learning Disability - Social Opportunities and Natural Networks

Notice Description

Contract provision for tackling social isolation for residents in West Lothian.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Gig Buddies aims to tackle social isolation by empowering people to take control of their social life, expand their social circles, and give people more confidence in accessing the events that their local community has to offer through pairing their members to volunteers who share the same interests to become 'Gig Buddies'. This is their own, personal, one on one relationship, tailored to their interests. Through this pairing, they can go to whatever events interest them, at times which suit them.. Expenditure was approved by West Lothian Council Executive at March 2022 meeting

Procurement Information

Regulation 3 (10) of the Public Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016 makes provision for the aggregation of public contracts where the value of all contracts for similar supplies and services awarded during the previous 12 months must be aggregated. The aggregated value determines whether the contract is over the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) threshold. The contract spend over the previous 12 months is GBP29,727 and the value of the proposed award is 35,430 GBP per annum, equating to GBP177,150 over a 5-year period. The combined value of GBP206,877 is below the Light Touch Regime threshold (GBP663,540) and therefore, in line with the Scottish Government guidance on the Procurement of Care and Support, the Council can choose not to seek offers for Social Care and Other Related Services contracts on a case by case basis. 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 approved a direct award to Thera Scotland for the Gig Buddies Befriending and networking service for a period of 3 years from 1 July 2022, with the option to extend for a further 2 years, with an estimated value of GBP 177,150 over a 5 year period.
