Located in Livingston, Scotland, this contract, completed through a limited procurement method, entails providing care services for children affected by parental substance misuse. The contract was signed on 20 November 2024, following approval by the West Lothian Council Executive on 22 October 2024.

This direct award, valued at £134,515, was permissible under procurement regulations, ensuring compliance with the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) thresholds.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing social care services, particularly those focused on support for children and families affected by substance abuse. The contract aims to improve health, wellbeing, and life chances by providing high-quality, evidence-based services. Large organisations like Circle, which was awarded this contract, stand to benefit significantly.

### Procurement Information

A direct award would be permissible within procurement regulations as the cumulative value is below the GPA threshold of GBP552,950 ex vat. 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. The total proposed contract value of GBP134,515 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 Social Care and Other Related Services contracts on a case by case basis.
