Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council, operating out of the West Lothian Civic Centre in Livingston, spearheaded a procurement process for the "Bellsquarry Kitchen Extension," belonging to the "works" industry category. This initiative involved extending and refitting the kitchen at Bellsquarry School. The procurement adopted a selective approach, specifically through a restricted procedure. The tender phase concluded on 9 January 2025, with the procurement advancing to an award stage on 24 June 2026. Key locations for this project included the UKM78 region. The contract, valued at £307,628.36, was awarded to Maxi Construction Limited, an SME based in Livingston, and was signed on 22 January 2026. The project was financially supported by capital investments allocated for kitchen facilities, with an emphasis on the provision of Universal Free School Meals.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, specifically those with expertise in school facilities' extensions and refits. SMEs in the construction sector, particularly those adept in public sector projects and with experience in working under restricted procurement procedures, are ideally suited to engage in this process. The contract is not only financially appealing but also includes community benefit requirements, encouraging participation in skills development and employment initiatives. Consequently, firms prioritising sustainable practices and community engagement may find added value and growth potential from participating in such projects.
