## Summary

West Lothian Council has recently completed a direct award process for a one-year contract titled "Family Group Decision Making Kinship Support and Mental Health Services to Families Children and Young People". This procurement, categorised under services, particularly focuses on support for children and young people's emotional wellbeing. The award was made on 19 May 2020, with the associated service set to enhance advocacy for Family Group Decision Making. The contracting authority is located at the West Lothian Civic Centre in Livingston, Scotland, and has identified this procurement activity as essential for ongoing service provision in accordance with The Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in family support services, mental health assistance, and advocacy programmes. Businesses with capabilities in providing emotional wellbeing support, kinship services, and community-based initiatives would be particularly well-suited to engage with West Lothian Council for future projects.
