Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has concluded the procurement process for the installation of 3m cycle paths under the "Active Travel" project, which encompasses Lot 1: Heartlands to Whitdale Roundabout and Lot 2: Fauldhouse to A706, within the industry category of general public services. Located in the UKM78 region, this procurement started with an open procedure, ensuring a fair opportunity for potential bidders. The tender phase ended on 13th February 2026, subsequently moving to the award stage, followed by the signing of contracts on 30th March 2026. Both project lots are now in the complete stage, managed previously under a structured timeline, with West Lothian Council acting as the primary purchasing authority.

This project presents a significant business growth opportunity for civil engineering and construction firms, especially those specialising in public infrastructure works or cycle path installations. The open procedure meant that various businesses had equal opportunities to participate electronically, encouraging competition and the inclusion of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by Newlay Civil Engineering Ltd and Bottom Groundworks securing contracts for the respective lots. Companies with technical expertise in cycle path construction and compliance with West Lothian's financial and technical criteria were particularly well-positioned to benefit from this tender, not only enhancing their portfolios but also contributing to regional infrastructure improvements, aligning with the community benefits outlined by the council.

                    "description": "SPD question 4B.6 West Lothian Council will use Dun and Bradstreet's DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts. In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period. It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer's financial status. In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee. Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.",
