## Summary

West Lothian Council has initiated a public procurement process for the 'Mental Health Substance Abuse Supported Accommodation' contract, primarily within the services sector. This procurement is located in Livingston, UK, and is currently in the Award stage. The tender was signed on 9 June 2020, with a total estimated contract value of £10,976,560, including an extension worth £1,568,080. The procurement method employed is a limited procedure, allowing for direct award without prior publication, justified by the urgent circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health and substance abuse support services, particularly those capable of providing supported accommodation. Suitable competitors include large organisations with established experience in service design and delivery in these areas. The current environment emphasises a collaborative approach to service provision, thus businesses that can effectively engage with customers and partners will be well-positioned to succeed in this procurement process.

## Notice

In light of present Covid 19 situation a direct award of 12 months to the current incumbent providers to facilitate the completion of the service redesign, its associated service specification and consultation with customers and partners is required.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Extension of present contractual arrangements for a period of 12 months to provide Supported Accommodation to Adults' Mental Health and Substance Misuse care groups. With the extent of the present Covid 19 situation still unknown, the extension of the contract for a further 12 month period, will enable the informed development of more progressive provision and contracts for Accommodation with Support. This will deliver better outcomes, align with national well-being and Integrated Joint Board indicators, while offering a more effective and efficient service.. As this is a direct award to the incumbent providers with no competitive tendering activity having taken place, there was no price & quality award criteria. Also, whilst the estimated contract value to date including the proposed extension is GBP 10,976,560 the estimated value of the proposed extension is GBP 1,568,080.

### Procurement Information

The Council needs to respond immediately to the ongoing COVID-19 consequences with council 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 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.
