## Summary

This procurement process conducted by West Lothian Council pertains to the provision of 'Sheriff Officer and Debt Collection Services.' The tender falls under the 'General public services' industry category and is located in the West Lothian Council Area. It has progressed through the stages, culminating in a contract award. The procurement was finalised using a limited procedure, specifically a direct award from the Scotland Excel framework, with the contract being signed on the 21st of August 2025. This process was marked as complete on the 8th of September 2025, and it involves a contract valued at £420,000.
