## Summary

West Lothian Council has initiated a procurement process for the "Family Support Worker Provision," aimed at delivering support services to children and young people affected by poverty across 12 schools. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is classified as a limited direct award, without prior publication of a call for competition. The service provision is scheduled to commence on 4th October 2021 and will run for 9 months, concluding on 30th June 2022, with an estimated total value of £276,000. Notably, this direct award to Action for Children was necessary to ensure continuity of support as the previous contract had expired without extension options.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses geared towards social impact, especially those specialising in child welfare and educational support services. Companies with experience in providing similar family support and social work services would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts in this sector. As local authorities increasingly seek robust solutions to assist vulnerable groups, suppliers with a proven track record in health and social work are likely to find a growing demand for their services in the public procurement space.
