## Summary

West Lothian Council has completed an open procurement process for the "WLC Trades Contractors Framework," a significant initiative aimed at supplementing its Property & Building Service departments. The framework, valued approximately at £32.4 million, spans over four years and is split into 14 individual trade lots and one multi-trade lot, covering varying trades, including bricklaying, electrical works, and joinery, among others. This initiative was led by West Lothian Council, based in Livingston, UKM78 region, with the tender stage beginning in January 2026, followed by the awarding of contracts in May 2026. This framework is designed to serve properties within the geographical area of West Lothian Council, using an open procedure as the procurement method, emphasizing works as the main procurement category.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the construction and property maintenance sectors. With the award allowing multiple suppliers per lot—three each for lots concerning specific trades and five for the multi-trade lot—it caters to various specialised contractors. SMEs with capabilities in building maintenance, civil works, electrical, plumbing, and glazing, among others, are well-suited to benefit from this framework, enabling business growth through potentially securing contracts valued up to £11.92 million for the multi-trade lot. The focus on health and safety combined with competitive pricing indicates an opportunity for businesses to distinguish themselves through both quality standards and cost-effectiveness.
