## Summary

The public procurement process involves West Lothian Council seeking a provider for the "Letham Court Care Home Care Provision" to offer short breaks for individuals with medium to significant learning disabilities and complex physical health care needs. Located in Livingston, this service falls under the "General public services" category, initiated as a limited procurement method due to the urgent need arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, and the contract was signed on 16th June 2020, with an estimated total value of £2,379,168, and a potential extension value of £396,528.

This tender presents opportunities for large-scale providers that specialise in residential care and support services for individuals with disabilities. Suppliers capable of addressing critical care needs during challenging times would be particularly advantageous. Businesses with the capacity to ensure immediate and quality service provision can successfully compete for future contracts, especially as the Council aims to secure effective care for vulnerable groups in the community while potentially expanding their service offerings in light of the ongoing implications of the pandemic.

## Notice

Short breaks (respite) at Letham Court Residential Care Home, 2 Letham Court, Craigshill, Livingston EH54 5AY for those with medium to significant learning disabilities as well as complex physical / health care needs.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Short breaks (respite) at Letham Court Residential Care Home, 2 Letham Court, Craigshill, Livingston EH54 5AY for those with medium to significant learning disabilities as well as complex physical / health care needs. The contract in place is on a block basis for six placements in total; five being on a planned basis with the remaining one being used for emergencies or unplanned situations which may arise. With a need for short break provision to be available within West Lothian for those with a medium to significant learning disability and complex physical / health care needs, the present Covid 19 situation is affecting lease finalisation and purchase arrangements. As additional time is required to finalise these matters, it is proposed that a direct award of 12 months is made to the incumbent provider.. This is a direct award and there is no price/quality award criteria.

### Procurement Information

The Council needs to respond immediately to the ongoing COVID-19 consequences with staff for example being diverted from their normal duties. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable and could not have been predicted by a reasonably diligent and informed Contracting 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. The Council therefore perceive that the extreme urgency factors within Section 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 have been met and with a duty to ensure that there is service provision for vulnerable persons, it is proposed that a direct award is made for a period of 12 months as the full impact of COVID 19 is unknown in terms of both our own workforce and that of the service provider. This will allow for short break provision to be available within West Lothian for those with a medium to significant learning disability and complex physical / health care needs and allow time for conclusion of the lease and a decision around the purchase of the property prior to undertaking tendering activity.
