## Summary

West Lothian Council has awarded a contract for an online skills platform service, titled "CC14723 - Online skills platform services," under the procurement category of IT services. The contract, active since 30th June 2026, involves the provision of a personal development platform aimed at supporting individuals involved with the Council's Justice Services in the region of UKM78. The procurement was conducted through a limited process, allowing a direct award without prior competition, due to the absence of viable technical alternatives. The process, governed by the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, supports various justice interventions and aims at personal development and resilience building to reduce reoffending.

This tender offers significant potential for businesses specializing in software development and IT support, particularly those focused on educational technology and online learning platforms. The service requires robust digital solutions to facilitate various learning activities such as employability training and addiction recovery. While the contract was granted directly to The Wise Group due to the technical specificity, similar companies with innovative online educational solutions may find expansion opportunities by aligning with regional authorities seeking to fulfil statutory obligations and enhance community services.
