Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Electoral Commission procured office interior fit-out works for its Edinburgh office. The requirement covers building completion work and is intended to provide a high-quality, fully fitted office environment that meets the Commission’s operational requirements. The work is categorised as works rather than goods or services. The procurement was managed by the Electoral Commission, which is the organisation using the completed fit-out. The stated objective was to appoint a provider able to deliver the required quality while supporting value for money and compliance with procurement regulations. The contract concerns the Edinburgh office fit-out as a single requirement, rather than separate publicly identified work packages. The selected contractor, Clark Contracts Ltd, is a large construction and fit-out business.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 22 April 2026 at 23:00. The contract was awarded to Clark Contracts Ltd on 30 April 2026 for £247,459.13 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2030. The procurement was assessed against the Commission’s requirement for high-quality delivery, value for money and compliance with applicable procurement regulations. The published procurement value was recorded as £1, while the award value is £247,459.13; these figures are reported separately because they represent different stages of the process. The tender status is complete and the award is active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Electoral Commission for substantial office fit-out and building completion capability delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need proven experience in office interior fit-out, construction completion and coordinating the delivery of a finished workplace to an institutional client’s requirements. The successful supplier would also need the operational capacity to manage a multi-year contractual relationship, maintain quality standards and demonstrate value for money within a regulated public procurement route. Businesses considering similar work should be able to present a clear delivery method, reliable project management, competent site teams and evidence of completing comparable office environments. The requirement is better suited to established construction or fit-out contractors than to small or voluntary-sector organisations.
