Summary of the contracting process

Midlothian Council has undertaken a public procurement process for the "Facilities Management" of Council Assets, classified under the industry category "Repair and maintenance of plant" (CPV code 45259000). The procurement process, initiated in early 2024 and concluded with an award in November 2024, used a selective restricted procedure. The contract, valued at £7,847,123 GBP, covers the provision of facilities management services in Midlothian (region UKM73). The awarded contract, signed on 3rd October 2024, was given to Lovat's Group Ltd. The procurement process experienced an amendment by extending the submission deadline by 24 hours due to technical issues, ensuring all bids were adequately submitted.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in facilities management services, particularly those with capabilities in maintenance and repair of plant equipment. With a significant contract value and a defined scope, companies can achieve considerable growth by securing this contract. The selective procurement method emphasises technical and commercial criteria, with the winning bid evaluated based on 60% quality and 40% cost. Suitable businesses for this opportunity are those with strong technical prowess, stable financial backgrounds verified via Experian, and a commitment to community benefits, such as supporting modern apprenticeships and other local initiatives. The 5-year contract, with potential extensions, provides prolonged project stability for the winning vendor.
