## Summary

The procurement process involves a direct award by West Lothian Council for the contract titled "Assertive Outreach and Criminal Justice Services." This service falls within the general public services industry category and is situated in Livingston, UK. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, initiated due to the urgent needs arising from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at approximately GBP 1,365,480, was signed on 5th June 2020 and is aimed at supporting vulnerable groups in West Lothian through effective intervention methods.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in public health services, outreach programmes, and interventions for vulnerable populations. Companies like social service providers and healthcare firms that can deliver effective solutions for substance use and related issues would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts. The contract also allows time for service providers to prepare for future tendering opportunities, fostering growth in the public services sector.

## Notice

A direct award of 12 months is proposed to the incumbent service provider for the continuation of the persistent assertive outreach outcome based service model to specific vulnerable groups using evidence based effective interventions and output based milestones, as a consequence of the present and ongoing Covid 19 pandemic.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

As a consequence of the Covid 19 pandemic which has resulted in for example staff redeployment, the council propose making a 12 month direct award to the incumbent provider for continuing delivery of a persistent assertive outreach service model and associated integrated care pathways to support those at risk from substance use including adult offenders and other hard to reach vulnerable groups living in West Lothian. This will also provide for contributing to West Lothian's commitment to the delivery of Alcohol Brief Interventions and to contribute to the prevention of drug and alcohol related deaths. The direct award will allow sufficient time for council staff to be available to assist with the future tendering opportunity and allow for service providers staff to be available to prepare their bid submissions.. There is no price or quality evaluation for this procurement as this is a direct award. Although the estimated total contract value to date including the proposed contract extension is GBP 1,365,480 the estimated value of the proposed contract extension is GBP 273,096

### Procurement Information

The Council needs to respond immediately to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation and subsequent consequences with staff for example being diverted from their normal duties. It is believed that he events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable and could not have been predicted by a reasonable diligent Authority. The present situation is not attributable to the contracting authority in any way and with council staff employed in other capacities it is not possible to comply with the usual timescales in the 2015 Regulations. There is also no known available framework whereby a call off contract under an existing commercial agreement such as a framework or dynamic purchasing system could be undertaken.
