Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Measured Term Contract for the Orkney Mainland 2025 - 2028," was conducted by Orkney Islands Council, a regional authority based in Kirkwall, United Kingdom. It falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services and covers various properties across the Orkney Mainland. The tendering process was executed via a restricted procedure, intending to commence in April 2025 with a contract duration of three years. Notable procurement dates include the invitation to tender responses by 7th March 2025 and the commencement of works expected in April 2025. This process was in the award stage as of April 2026, with the contract valued at approximately GBP 4,474,248.32, indicating an altered valuation from the initial tender estimate of GBP 3,750,000.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in repair and maintenance services to partake in various projects requiring daily reactive maintenance, 24-hour repair services, and minor works. The sourcing method has favoured SMEs, as evidenced by R Clouston Ltd, an SME based in Orkney, which secured the contract. Companies specialising in subcontracting services including plumbing, electrical, painting, flooring, and cleaning have significant potential for involvement due to a provision of up to 60% subcontracting work allowed within the contract. As it is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), businesses with the capability to engage electronically and adhere to the selective procurement approach are particularly well-suited to leverage this contract for growth and expansion within Scotland's public sector market.
