## Summary

West Lothian Council has completed the procurement process titled "CC14016 - School Capacity Planning Consultancy and support." This project falls under the industry category of General Public Services and is located in Livingston, Scotland (Region UKM78). The procurement stage is the award phase, with the contract approved on 11 March 2025 and signed on 28 March 2025. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by technical reasons under Clause 6) (1) (b) (ii) of The Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016. The school roll forecasting services will begin with the base year 2025-26 and continue to be updated annually over the next five years.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities by providing niche consultancy and support services for educational planning, particularly for firms specialised in data analytics and predictive modelling. The contract, valued at £139,000, is awarded to Edge Analytics Ltd, which will provide expert insight into future pupil numbers affected by migration, housing developments, and school changes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in technical data services, particularly in education-related forecasting, are well-suited for such opportunities where there is a need for specialised, proprietary systems.
