## Summary

East Lothian Council procured professional services to validate digital projects and develop their business cases. The requirement covered business case development for digital projects under the UK Government’s G-Cloud 14 framework, specifically Lot 3, Cloud Support. The work is for delivery in East Lothian. This is a digital consultancy and advisory opportunity rather than the supply of software, hardware or construction works. The council is the public-sector buyer and user of the resulting advice. The service is intended to support decisions on digital projects by testing and developing the cases for them. It would suit organisations providing structured digital transformation, project validation and business case development services to local government or other public-sector clients.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. East Lothian Council made a direct award under the G-Cloud 14 framework. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and is active. The awarded contract value is £153,376. Triple Value Impact was selected for the single lot. One bid was recorded, from an SME; it was submitted electronically. The procurement used G-Cloud 14 Lot 3, Cloud Support, and the requirement was treated as outside the scope of the applicable directive. The published outcome records the award to Triple Value Impact, with no separate contract duration or evaluation weighting stated in the procurement details.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined local-government requirement for independent digital project validation and business case development, delivered through the G-Cloud 14 Cloud Support route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable capability in assessing digital projects, shaping robust business cases and giving public-sector decision-makers clear, evidence-based advice. It would also need to understand local-authority governance and the practical requirements of delivering consultancy in East Lothian. Framework access through the relevant G-Cloud route would be important, since the council used a direct award under that framework. The single SME bid shows that specialist smaller suppliers can compete for this type of work.
