## Summary

The West Lothian Council is currently in the award stage of the "WLC Professional Technical Services Framework" procurement process, which began on 11th December 2018. This project encompasses the provision of professional technical services, including architectural and engineering consultancies, situated in West Lothian, Scotland. The framework, designed to operate for a period of three years, allows for a possible 12-month extension, making the maximum duration four years. The procurement method used is an open procedure, aimed at ensuring a competitive tendering environment.

This initiative presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the fields of architecture, engineering, and consultancy services. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger firms that possess the requisite qualifications and expertise would be particularly well-positioned to compete, as the framework is structured into 13 distinct lots, allowing bidders to submit for multiple service areas. The expected value of this framework is £4 million, appealing to various businesses looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts.

## Notice
