## Summary

West Lothian Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Sensory Impairment Services to Deaf Action, located in Edinburgh. The procurement process was classified under the Social protection industry category and was conducted without a prior tender exercise as a direct award, permissible under Scottish Government procurement regulations due to the contract value being below the Light Touch Regime threshold. The contract was signed on 24 February 2026 and concerns services across the UK. The procurement method used was limited, and further details can be accessed through West Lothian Council's official website.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in sensory impairment services and related social care sectors. Deaf Action's success in securing this contract suggests that organisations with similar expertise are well-suited for upcoming procurement opportunities in this field. The direct award approach highlights the potential for businesses to secure contracts through targeted service delivery that meets regulatory thresholds, indicating potential openings for firms capable of providing specialised social services under similar procurement conditions.

## Notice

Sensory Impairment Service - Deaf Action

### 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 GBP39646 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.
