Summary of the contracting process

West Dunbartonshire Council recently completed a procurement process focused on Children's Services for Child Protection and Child Welfare, aiming to enhance training services in line with the latest standards. The procurement is categorized under social protection services and was conducted using a limited procurement method due to the sole supplier scenario, involving Leigh Taylor LTD. The contract, valued at £76,900, was signed on 6th March 2025, and it specifically targets service delivery within the West Dunbartonshire region. This procurement followed an award procedure without prior publication, given that no existing framework met the requirements.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in the delivery of child welfare and protection training services, particularly large-scale firms accustomed to dealing with unique or direct award scenarios. Companies experienced in tailored training solutions for local authorities could benefit from engaging in similar opportunities with government entities seeking high-level, specific service provisions. Businesses that can offer innovative training that aligns with evolving regulations and standards in the social protection domain stand to gain from forming strategic partnerships with public sector bodies like West Dunbartonshire Council.
