Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council (WLC) has awarded a framework contract for "Void Works Framework" aimed at refurbishing void rental properties to make them lettable again. This contract, classified under the "Overhaul and refurbishment work" industry category, includes works such as building construction and alterations predominantly in the Livingston area (UKM78). The procurement process has been completed, with the award date being 18th June 2024. The overall value of the contract is £7,200,000 GBP, and the procurement method used was an open procedure. The process involved submitting electronic bids through an online platform, and the awarded contractors are required to ensure compliance with various environmental, social, and labour laws specific to the UK and Scotland.

This tender opens significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in a substantial works framework, promoting business growth in the construction and refurbishment sectors. Companies specialising in housing upgrades, commercial property refurbishment, and construction works will find this particularly suitable. Given the emphasis on community benefits, with a dedicated weight in award criteria, businesses with strong community engagement and fair work practices will have a competitive advantage. Additionally, the inclusion of financial stability assessments and adherence to specific technical and quality standards indicates that well-established firms, particularly those with relevant industry certifications, are best positioned to compete for this work.

Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts. In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period. It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer's financial status. In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee. Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.",
