## Summary

West Lothian Council has awarded a contract for the purchase and installation of roller brake testers for their fleet workshop, focussing on general public services. The procurement process followed an open procedure, ensuring a competitive and transparent selection. Located in the Whitehill Industrial Estate, Bathgate (UKM78), the contract encompasses the delivery and phasing of three brake testing machines, including their supply, installation, and servicing over a five-year period to maintain warranty validity. The contract, valued at £180,724, was awarded on 6th January 2026, following a successful tender period closing on 1st December 2025.

This project presents substantial opportunities for businesses capable of supplying and maintaining advanced mechanical equipment. Organisations that specialise in automotive testing systems, particularly those with a robust understanding of compliance with UK and European vehicle standards, are well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities. Given the open procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises like VL TEST SYSTEMS LTD, which secured the contract, demonstrate that SMEs with the right capabilities and competitive pricing strategies can effectively compete for public contracts. This framework prioritises resilient supply chains and consideration of community benefits, offering strategic growth prospects for businesses attentive to these aspects.

## Notice
