## Summary

West Lothian College has awarded a contract for the provision of Welding Booths and Extraction Fans, located in Livingston, UK. The procurement process was conducted through an open tender method due to the urgency necessitated by the main construction project. The contract, valued at £59,997, was signed on 15 March 2021 and falls under the goods category with a primary focus on the education industry. The project was processed under regulation 33(c), allowing for a swift procurement timeline to meet the project's strict deadlines, which were initially anticipated to be below the GBP 50,000 regulated threshold.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the construction and engineering sectors, to engage with public sector projects. Companies that specialise in manufacturing or supplying equipment for educational institutions, as well as those with experience in managing similar contracts efficiently, would be well-positioned to compete. The urgency and specific requirements of the project may favour suppliers who can demonstrate a proven ability to deliver quality products on tight timelines.
