The procurement, conducted under the Social protection industry category, was initiated via an award process without a prior call for competition, complying with the Public Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016. The contracting process follows a limited procurement method, focused on services pertinent to social care. The award was made to Wilta Health Solutions Ltd, with the contract becoming active on 25th February 2026. It is situated in Livingston under the UKM78 region, reflecting its emphasis on local service provision. This contract involves a financial commitment of £110,884, aligning with the Light Touch Regime threshold regulations, hence excluding the tender process.

Procurement Information

A direct award is permissible within procurement regulations as the cumulative value is below the GPA threshold of GBP552,950 ex vat. 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. The total proposed contract value of GBP110884 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 Social Care and Other Related Services contracts on a case by case basis.
