## Summary

The West Lothian Council has awarded a contract for Day Support Services at Answer House Day Care Centre to Answer Project limited. The procurement method used was a limited tender, with the procurement method rationale citing specific regulations that allowed for a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. The Council's decision to award the contract directly was approved at a Council Executive Meeting on 17 January 2023. The value of the contract is GBP 227,964, and it was signed on 31st March 2023.

This procurement process creates opportunities for businesses, particularly in the services sector, to provide Day Support Services for Older Persons. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender attractive due to the scale of the project and the direct award nature of the procurement method. Businesses in the health and social care services industry would be well-suited to compete for this contract, given the specific focus on providing care and support services for older adults.

### Procurement Information

Regulation 3 (10) of the Public Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016 makes provision for the aggregation of public contracts where the value of all contracts for similar supplies and services awarded during the previous 12 months must be aggregated. The aggregated value determines whether the contract is over the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) threshold. For Answer Day Care Centre , the aggregated value is below the Light Touch Regime threshold (GBP552,950 excluding VAT) and therefore, in line with the Scottish Government guidance on the Procurement of Care and Support, the Council can choose not to seek offers for Health and Social Care Services contracts on a case by case basis. Whilst the Council's Standing Orders permit the Head of Corporate Services to approve the direct award, they may opt to seek approval from Council Executive. As permitted by Section 6A of Contract Standing Orders, Council Executive gave approval at Council Executive Meeting on 17 January 2023.
