## Summary

West Lothian Council has awarded a contract titled "CC14590 - Short Breaks Respite at Home and in Community Setting - P4C Healthcare" under the Social protection industry category. Based in Livingston, West Lothian Council serves as the central purchasing body and buyer for this procurement process, which is classified as a direct award without a prior call for competition. The award process concluded on 30th April 2026, and the contract, valued at GBP 210,238, was finalised with P4C Healthcare Ltd on 24th February 2026. This procurement method was chosen under the regulations that allow direct awards when the aggregate value falls below the Government Procurement Agreement threshold, and it aligns with the Scottish Government's guidance on care and support procurement.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the social care sector, offering specialised services in short-term respite at home and community settings. Given the nature of the service, organisations with experience in healthcare and community support are well-positioned to engage with similar opportunities in the future despite West Lothian Council having directly awarded this contract to a specific supplier. Companies in the healthcare industry looking to expand their portfolio should monitor similar opportunities presented by public sector entities complying with local procurement regulations, particularly those that fall within value thresholds permitting streamlined award processes.

### 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 GBP210238 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.
