## Summary

The procurement process for the "Family Support Worker Provision" was initiated by West Lothian Council, aiming to provide support services across 12 primary and secondary schools located in Livingston, UK. This procurement falls under the services category and is at the award stage, with a contract value of £276,000. The service provision, which is essential for supporting children and young people affected by poverty, is set to run from 4th October 2021 to 30th June 2022. This contract was awarded through a limited procurement method, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the urgent need for continued support.

This tender presents an opportunity for growth for businesses that specialise in providing educational support services, particularly those focused on welfare and family assistance in a school environment. Given the specific requirements and the direct award process utilised, organisations that have experience working with local authorities and a proven track record in delivering similar services will be well-placed to compete for future similar contracts. The emphasis on supporting disadvantaged children indicates a growing market for services that enhance educational outcomes and well-being, catering specifically to local community needs.
