## Summary

West Lothian Council is undertaking a procurement process for Day Support Services for Older People, specifically aimed at five Day Care Centres located within West Lothian. The current procurement stage is at the award stage, with the direct awards effective from 1st October 2021 and concluding on 30th September 2022. The total estimated value of the contracts amounts to £851,560. This procurement, which falls under the health and social work services category, employs a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the need for urgent service continuity following the impacts of COVID-19.

This direct award presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health and social care sector looking to expand their service offerings. Those with experience in providing day care services or similar health support services for older populations will be particularly well-suited to compete. As the council seeks to modernise their approach following changes in service user eligibility, there is potential for innovative service delivery proposals that can enhance care quality and efficiency within the region.
