## Summary

West Lothian Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of an "Online skills platform services" intended to support individuals involved with the Justice Services in Livingston, Scotland (UKM78). The contract, identified by reference number CC14723, falls under the social protection and general public services categories. This initiative, which began as a tender, is now in the award stage, having been signed on 30th June 2026. This procurement was carried out using a limited method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The awarded contract is valued at £68,000.

This tender presents solid opportunities for businesses specialising in online educational platforms, particularly those focusing on personal development and rehabilitation services. Although the tender was awarded to The Wise Group, a large-scale supplier, similar businesses with innovative solutions that can cater to public service requirements like employability, health, and addiction recovery may find future opportunities in such government contracts. Companies looking to establish a presence in the public sector by providing statutory-support services that promote skills development and aim to reduce reoffending through transformative personal development activities would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
