Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council procured civil engineering works for its active-travel programme: installing 3-metre-wide cycle paths along Edinburgh Road between Guildiehaugh Roundabout and King Street Car Park, in Livingston. The requirement is classified under CPV 45233162, covering construction of roads and related infrastructure. The work is a single package and includes delivery on the specified roads. The council is the buyer and central purchasing body. The project is intended to improve cycling infrastructure on this route, so it is relevant to contractors experienced in highway construction, cycleway installation, traffic-sensitive road works and associated civil engineering. The requirement also includes community benefits and a subcontracting clause, which may suit firms able to deliver local social value or manage specialist subcontractors as part of a wider construction project.

The procurement is complete and awarded following an open procedure. Seven electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. John McGeady Ltd was selected for the single package, with the award made on 3 July 2026. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £1,206,272. The contract period is 120 days. Bids were assessed against suitability, economic and technical criteria, with staff names and qualifications required. Financial assessment used Dun & Bradstreet’s DBAi Failure Score, with a score of 50 or above treated as satisfactory; alternative accounts or credit evidence could be considered in defined circumstances. Required insurance levels were £10 million employers’ liability, £5 million public liability and valid motor insurance. Variants were not allowed.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for firms targeting similar active-travel works for West Lothian Council. Credible competitors would need proven highway or cycleway construction capability, including delivering wide segregated paths on existing roads and managing site operations in an urban Livingston setting. The requirement favoured organisations able to provide suitably qualified project staff, demonstrate financial stability and carry substantial employers’ and public-liability insurance, together with valid motor cover. Strong technical evidence and appropriate suitability credentials would also be important. Smaller civil engineering businesses may be well placed, since all recorded bidders were SMEs. Suppliers should also be able to accommodate subcontracting, electronic project administration and community-benefit commitments, while coordinating specialist works and local social-value activity within a council infrastructure project.
