Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Hire of Tools" has been concluded by the West Lothian Council, a regional authority providing general public services. The process falls under the services category and is specifically designed to meet the needs of the Housing, Customer, and Building Services department. The location for service delivery is specified as region UKM78, covering Livingston. This particular contract was opened under the "open procedure" method, ensuring a transparent procurement process. Key dates include the tender period ending on 23rd October 2023, and the contract being signed on 26th February 2024, with an active status and a value of £60,000 awarded to Hire Station Limited.

This tender creates growth opportunities for suppliers in the power tools and equipment hire services industry. It especially caters to businesses capable of supporting public sector services with efficient and reliable tool solutions. Large-scale suppliers with the capacity to fulfil government contracts, such as Hire Station Limited, are well-positioned to compete in such open procurement processes. The lack of submitted bids from SMEs indicates potential future opportunities for smaller businesses to establish partnerships or enhance their service offerings to meet criteria for similar public sector tenders.
