Day Support Services for Older Persons at Answer House Day Care Centre provided by Answer Project limited.. Direct Award - approval given by West Lothian Council at meeting on 17 January 2023

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. For Answer Day Care Centre , the aggregated value is below the Light Touch Regime threshold (GBP552,950 excluding VAT) 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 Health and Social Care 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. As permitted by Section 6A of Contract Standing Orders, Council Executive gave approval at Council Executive Meeting on 17 January 2023.
