## Summary

West Lothian Council has concluded the contracting process for the provision of services to children affected by parental substance use, under the reference CC14555. Classified under social protection, the procurement pertains to the delivery of services within the UK region. The process, which is currently at the award stage and classified as complete, utilised a limited procurement method without prior publication of a competitive call due to the aggregated contract value being below specified thresholds. The contract, valued at £269,030, was signed on 25th February 2026 and subsequently awarded to Circle, based in Edinburgh.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social care services, particularly those that have expertise in supporting vulnerable children and families. Organisations with experience in this domain may find future opportunities to collaborate with the council, especially within the framework of the light-touch procurement regime, which allows focused allocation of resources toward socio-sensitive contracts. Although this tender involved a direct award, businesses with similar capacities and regional presence could position themselves strategically for potential contracts in the region by aligning with West Lothian Council’s procurement goals.

### Procurement Information

A direct award is 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 GBP269030 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.
