This project is categorised under 'Construction work' in the CPV classification and falls within the 'works' procurement category. Located in Kilmarnock (region: UKM93), it aims to develop the Moorfield Industrial Park, providing essential infrastructure and preparatory groundwork to support future development phases targeting advanced manufacturing and light engineering sectors. The contract has been awarded to Heron Bros Ltd with an active status, as reflected in the announcement dated 11th September 2025. The procurement employed a selective method, operated under a restricted procedure, ensuring compliance with regional and international standards (GPA), with the contract officially signed on 5th September 2025, valued at £9,034,716.99 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in infrastructure construction, particularly those that can deliver high-quality site preparation and utility installations. As the project supports strategic growth in advanced manufacturing and light engineering sectors, companies operating in these industries could find lucrative partnership or subcontracting prospects. Businesses with expertise in digital connectivity, ground stabilisation, and service installations are well-suited to compete, particularly under arrangements favouring collaborations that provide community benefits, such as work experience opportunities and educational engagements. The requirement for suppliers to have specific industry accreditations, such as NICEIC, SELECT, B&ES memberships, and others, ensures that only qualified businesses can participate, promoting quality and safety in contract execution.
